But the next week Stanley cubrick said to the media that writing by Stephen king was very weak. He didn't take Stephen king in screenplay too.. he joined with another writer.
What I understood is, film is a visual medium and we can't show all the character description and characters internal world in sentences like in a novel. There have been new scenes added in many adopted films to just show the characterization of the particular character. Some films ignore some facts because it cannot be shown visually.. finally end up with a film that is vastly deviated from the original novel.
That must have been a bummer for King.
Anyway even though they don't show every intricate detail, at least they could keep the main concept in the movie. If I start listing all the confusions and disappointments happened in those movies, I won't be able to finish anytime soon.
For example in the book, Voldemort finally dies as a normal mortal after all the Horcruxes are destroyed. That scene in the book was emphasized to say that Voldy wanted to be superior to muggles and all other wizards, but at last, he dies in the way he hates the most-as a mortal. But in the movie, they HAD to spoil the concept by making Voldy's skin fly away and so on to make it extraordinary. Why do they have to do that?
