I have always felt that it is very difficult to adapt classics into movies, especially well-known and important classics. After all, a movie is a time-limited thing, and it is impossible to express every detail perfectly, so many times, it is adapted into Movies have to cut the story, but this seemingly reasonable approach has often become the object of criticism.
is a good typical failure case. Since I saw it in junior high school Since then, he has always been appreciated as a wonderful plot novel. For many scenes in the book, he has been very idealized "reduction of thinking" when reading. So it is normal, watching After the movie, I was almost completely disappointed. Not to mention that the details are not exhaustive, the characters have been deleted a lot, and the relationship has also been changed. In terms of restoring many scenes, the director's imagination is really bad. Brilliance can actually be expressed in details, without extravagance and wasteful publicity, but the scenes in the prison are almost roughly taken. The time of 13 years is almost less than 10 minutes in the movie. Although revenge is the main thing, the prerequisite is also prepared. It can’t be less. I can’t blame the director. The story itself needs to be told too rich in content, and it is too reluctant to use direct narrative methods. Time is so tight that it can’t be tight. Plus, it’s not a big movie... ...The
story combines many dramatic factors together, but it makes such a MIX too messy, losing the tension of the original drama, and looking dull.
It is disappointed not to see the pale count. Even the peerless beauty Helen didn’t know where to go, so that Tang Taide and Mae Sai were together again. Although I was eager to have this ending when I was reading the novel, I was inexplicably dissatisfied to see that the movie was really arranged like this. Probably because of the change in content. It's so thin, the protagonist's emotional change is not excessive enough to make this ending very abrupt. But the arrangement of Albert becoming the son of the earl is at least justified by the film, and I can still accept such a change.
The surface is gorgeous, and the middle is empty. There are too few clues in the story, which may be to make people who have never read it better understand, but the essence of the original work will also fade. Maybe the relationship between the characters is more complicated, and the revenge and retribution should be balanced. One point, this can also help the audience to accept and understand the thoughts and feelings of the main characters, at least not to let the earl become the "evil rich" in the eyes of unknown people.
