As a reader,
and a self-proclaimed book worm, I was really frustrated when the book that
I’ve read becomes a movie. Like, The Fault in Our Stars and Divergent, which
was led by Shailene Woodley, though she’s really a good actress and really
suits to the character of Hazel Grace in TFIOS and Beatrice/Tris in Divergent,
I don’t have a protest to that. What I’m frustrated is on the story in the
movie. Sobrang magkaiba! Especially in Divergent, like, where are the things
that I’ve read in the book? Why is it not in the movie?
Honestly
speaking, I’ve watched Divergent first, then read it after because I really
liked the movie. But, when I’m already reading it, I was like, why is this
thing is not in the movie? This scene is important, it should be on the movie!
Then, when I finished reading, I watched it again, I found myself asking the
same question, finding important scenes that’s in the book that should be in
the movie, but eventually, the writer of the movie did not include it. Can you
feel the frustration that I’m feeling?
People should
learn how to read! And not just joining the band-wagon because they hear that it
will be or it is a good movie. I don’t know if the authors of the books that
becomes a movie is happy with the result of those movie, or they also feel
frustrated about it. “Writers” of the movie should give justice to the authors
of the book. Though I understand that the whole book can’t be on the
full-length movie, what I’m saying is, do not remove the important parts!
Because people WHO DO NOT read will be misled and will just stick to the story
that they have watched.
