Contrast feeling

I was planning to start writing book reviews and movie ratings, but after watching the movie, I still feel that it is more interesting to talk about it. Compared with the movies adapted from Stephen King's novels (except The Shining), I think Ten Days of Dangerous Love has been a relatively successful one. Casting Kathy Bates, worthy of the name of the queen in horror. But compared to the novel, the portrayal of Annie in the movie version is not scary enough. Annie's sense of madness in the novel is very rich and layered, while in the movie it is relatively thin. I like the screenwriter's re-creation of the novel adaptation because the male protagonist in the novel has a lot of complex and profound psychological descriptions, dream descriptions, including the description of the novels written by the male protagonist in the novel. It is true that these are not easy to film. The screenwriter replaced these contents with the outside world's search and rescue plot for the male protagonist, enriching the content of the movie from a small room to a town. Generally speaking, novels and movies have their own strengths and weaknesses, but novels give readers more profound feelings. Maybe this is the difference between the aesthetic experience brought by text and video art
