Turning Novel into Film: Criticism of Adaptation (original) (raw)

Adapting a novel into a film is a humongous task than writing a book, yet the critics never favoured a film over the novel. There are limitations to it, and the transformation brings changes at every level of the film and a book is not the same after the film. It is hardly ever that a film has come out better than the book. Adding, subtraction, multiplication and division: it all applies to script while making a film out of a book. The present paper focusses on the disadvantages held by a film during the metamorphosis of the book.
