Get Booked: ‘The Shining’
I am tired of people using the classic lame argument that “the movie is nothing like the book, therefore it sucked.” I used to be one of those people until I started appreciating the film and book apart from each other. It is simply not a valid argument to say that a movie is bad because it deters away from the plot of the book, unless it is a major difference that alters the entire story to where the two seem unidentifiable to one another. There are things that a film can enhance that a book cannot, and vice versa. That’s just how it is. Besides, I believe in the director’s vision.
