A Movie Review on Movies

After watching movies for a while(or rather every other night during this holidays) I begin to understand a few things.

1) Its impossible to turn a 498-paged novel(a.k.a. Twilight) into 90 minute or maximum 180 minute film.

Its just darn impossible.
Not every piece of writing can be represented on-screen.
Dialogue in the head about how handsome some white-faced, two-fanged baring teenage boy just isn't going to work.
If it did, your school's most boring lectures would become the epitome of fun.
Watching a girl having an internal dialogue(even with narration) is plain, downright boring.
Even you have to agree?

2) Plots are usually simple, occasionally substandard and conclusions can be somewhat of a dissatisfaction for avid readers.

Let's face it, even the most complicated plot fails when visuals aren't able to portray it.
Writers, you HAVE to understand: actors are people, characters aren't.
Characters can dodge a million bullets and still have enough energy left to somersault, cartwheel, grab a knife, gun, throw a cannon, create thunderstorms and eat fish.
Actors, do the best that they can, and it gets annoying when people critic poor acting without first considering that Edward Cullen is a play on the power of your imagination while Robert Pattinson is a living, breathing human being.
Yes a good story is always brings your favorite movie to win an Oscar but do consider movie adaptations of novels.

They may be using a revised and unoriginal plot but give the directors and producers a break. Don't criticize the movie because it left out your favorite chapters, consider how well they have been able to portray the characters, certain niches and noches specific the story.

For the uneducated about video production, mouth zippers, fortunately, are absolutely free.
