Dear movie
directors/producers that have been making movie versions of books,
Step
up your game please. The movies lately? The have been sad compared
to the books. Divergent, Hunger Games, Harry Potter (These weren't
terrible except the Order of the Phoenix), I could go on for ages... There are
a million ways they could be better. I'm not writing this letter to be mean,
just to ask you to fix these flaws. When you are asked to direct or produce a
movie, READ THE BOOK. Sit down and just read a chapter or two a night after
dinner. And take notes, I can't stress this enough. Divergent for
one. Eric was supposed to have "long, dark, and greasy" hair,
essentially Snape's hair for the potterheads. Where does the short, slicked
back cut come from??
Honestly...
Even Professor Snape thinks Eric's hair is wrong. |
I think there's a slight difference here, what
about you? And don't even get me started on Four being British.
And Tris' hair in Insurgent? It's shoulder length not
a pixie cut. I understand Shailene Woodley had her hair short
for The Fault in our Stars, but there are these thing called hair
extensions. Or you can wait. A lot of people need to practice patience anyway.

I
will admit, there are some good or okay points, Eric is pierced and tattooed,
as he should be. A few more piercings wouldn't hurt, but I'll let it slide. A
lot of the places are very accurate, such as the jump.
If
you make a few small changes to your movies (i.e. reading the books, taking
notes, finding props/actors/places/costumes that truly follow the book/s) I can
almost guarantee you'll have more viewers. All the book nerds would leave the
books for a while to see them in action. I'm sure a lot, or all, of them have
been very deterred by the recent movies based off of the books. I know I have.
Sincerely,
A Book Nerd
