"One of the least likely to be made into a movie" is justified.
Now it seems that the original author's expectations for the visualization of the work are also too optimistic.
After watching the movie, I looked for the novel and looked at it. It was ok, similar to "Summer, Fireworks, My Corpse" by the Japanese genius writer Otichi. It is set to narrate the aftermath of death from the perspective of a ghost. story that happened.
But after being adapted into a movie, how should it be narrated from the perspective of a ghost? How to reflect the role of ghosts in the development of the plot?
too difficult.
Therefore, Peter Jackson had to compress a lot of the plot, and leave room to build the unreal world that the protagonist dies after death. Of course, the audience knows that this is the director's best field.
However, the problem comes again. The real plot is tense arrest and revenge, and the illusory world is a gentle literary and lyrical, two-phase transformation, very escape and abrupt, giving the audience a strong sense of discomfort.
Perhaps, Quentin's assessment of Peter Jackson wasn't entirely inaccurate: a director who wouldn't make a movie without CGI.
