What's your favorite book to movie adaptation? Was it true to the original?

Lord of the Rings, for me. So well done. Seems like its very difficult to do well, though.

This Dark Tower adaptation looks like a stinker. What a shame it's a fantastic series.

@SW-User Unfamiliar but I saw a movie starring Viggo Mortensen by that title. Post apocalypse type deal. Is that related?

@SW-User That was one where I thought the book was SO much more powerful. But I loved the cinematography in the movie and Mortensen was pitch perfect.

@SW-User Yes that was also a great adaptation.

@DanielChristensen Please read "the road" it is well worth it.
@SW-User The MOVIE was heartbreaking.
I am pretty sure I'd want to suicide if I tried to read the book.
(Not kidding)

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON The book is just as heartbreaking.
@berangere No doubt it's more so, a book is so much deeper...

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON It is very nice to see you too,my avatar is the isle of the dead,I have a clear vision of it,at the back beyond the trees is a beautiful harbour with a fountain and benches made of white marble,the fountain displays four dolphins water flowing from their mouths,the harbour is surrounded by tall trees and there is a temple at the side where souls come for their life review.

@berangere So I googled it, it's a painting.

Are you located in Tasmania, or Italy?

I had no time to really hunt it ; as I am on my way out to a concert with my father :)
berangere · 80-89, F
Tasmania.
@berangere The concert was transcendent actually
and I was STUNNED at the beautiful melodies emanating
from these may unusual flutes this musician had:
They were from China, from India, from Morocco, from The Native Americans in Argentina, etc. Also a Sufi flute.

It was a Chanukah concert which was straight from heaven bc I swear the angels made this music. I was soooooooooooo happy and sooooooooooooo at peace.

He also played a violin, a kind of balalaika but Turkish,
two flutes simultaneously, and this neat Persian string instrument called santour.
He can also play the piano.

I did not expect this magic.

WOW.

I wish I could live in that music forever.
It was so BEAUTIFUL 💓💔💞🙏✨

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I am so happy you enjoyed that wonderful concert.
@berangere Oh thank you
and oh gosh;
HOW much I needed THIS.

Hugs, L 😀👭🕎✨🌈
