Love Creates Horror

"Love creates horror" Stephen king the author of the shinning makes a really good point. I think it is really cool idea to scare people in way that they will have a some sympathy in for the character which means in this new book Im assuming that he is going to develop the characters story lines better and get to know them as people more than just someone that scares you and doesn't have any story at all.  His main  point with this book is to get the readers to really fall in love with the characters, so when something happens it ends up being more of a shock. He is wanting to make his work more mature and on an adult level to grow with readers that read this first book the shinning when they were kids. I think thats a very good and thought out transition. He is defiantly heading in the right direction with this new book.

Book to movie translation (Twilight)

For my book to movie translation, I picked to the book twilight. The movie was well enough did to help understand the main story, but obviously there are going to be scenes that will be different  from the book to movie translation because it is hard to condense a for hundred page book in to a little under a two hour film. Every person is going to have a different creation of what a book will look like in there own head, not everyone is going to agree with what is brought to life in the film because every pictures something different while reading a book. so going of that there were a couple of scenes in the movie that I did picture they would look like and some that didn't make it into the movie at all. an example of a good scene that pleased me would be, this first scene which is intruding the character on how to feels about death. "I'd never given much thought to how I would die -- though I'd had reason enough in
the last few months -- but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. I really like this because it shows the whole kind of tone of the series in what helps drive the story forward.

are books always better than movies?!

Are the books always better than movies? I personally think that is an very strong opinion question. but from my perspective I think that books and movies both have pro's and cons. obviously in books you do get to read the characters thoughts, as in movies you can't really read a charaters thoughts. in a movie you can see the world of the book come to life. I personally tend to see a movie more than I would read the book. but if it is a movie that I really enjoy and want to know what happends I will read the book after. obivisouly a book is going to have more information in it verses the movie. The movie will also have different changes from the book because it would be hard to covert a book to movie and trying to fit everthing in it. I think there are benifits to both, I dont think one is better than another.
