2. Book Into Movie: The End of an Era

It is the complaint of the reading public that movies are poor representations of books. It is too easy for those writing movie scripts to only catch the main plot points instead of focusing on the nuances that make the text. In fact the nuances that are hidden in the original text are often lost in a dumbed down edition for movies. Before people get too bent out of shape, it needs to be noted that movies and books are completely different mediums. One cannot expect that these two different mediums will give the same product. They were not meant to, even if we wish that they could be more similar.
