Pages to Scenes

Just as the title suggests, this post is about 5 movies which are book adaptations.

Book-to-movie adaptations aren't the best thing there is in the whole of a book junkie's life. Most of the time, the sentence "the book was better" is the best way to describe one's feelings about a movie adaptation of a certain book. I've certainly had times I felt that way but here are 5 books to movies that I like talking about in 4 different categories.

Book = Movie (I loved the book, and I loved the movie just the same.)

Pride and Prejudice(2005)

A lot of people have mentioned about the 1996 version being better than this. I have yet to watch that adaptation but this version has captured my heart just as the book. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden melted me the moment they were portraying the timeless characters. Not only were the actors great and astounding in their portrayals, but the setting was very much captured properly. The scenes felt very Regency era, and I think to feel like being able to go back to that time is really a beautiful feeling to have.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Kids, in the summer of 2014, I haven't met your dad yet (or have I? We don't know yet). But I found a ton of webseries which made that summer a bit better.

It was one time I was obsessing over Pride and Prejudice, a classic novel written by Jane Austen, that I found a certain article that talked about the modernization of the story of the certain novel. I love Jane Austen's books (who wouldn't?) and so, I looked at the article, found out it was a webseries which can be viewed in youtube.

It was called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. 

I love modernizations and book adaptations, but I also love watching vlogs (and sometimes, even making them). So the next move was to watch the first episode. I fell in love instantly with the way Lizzie is, and her sisters Jane and Lydia, and even her best friend Charlotte. The plan was to watch 5 episodes a day so I wouldn't have to torture my eyes watching 100 episodes in a few hours. However, excitement overcame the plan and I finished it in 3 days, 80% of the episodes watched in one day.
