>the peak of cinema is an adaptation of a Stephen King novel

How do we save this medium? Which books deserve an adaptation?

>> No.12374671

>>12374665
This isn't even Kubrick's best, what are you talking about?

>> No.12374676

>>12374665
It's not really a faithful adaptation. Kubrick just did his own thing with the story.

>>12374665
Actually, it's an adaptation of a Stephen King novella

>> No.12374690

>>12374665
The reason it's a good adaptation is because Kubrick's active contempt towards the source material shines through throughout the film.

>> No.12374877

The book was way better though

>> No.12374968

Barely even an adaptation since it disregards so much of the source material.

Adaptations of Mccarthy novels are much better. No Country and The Road might be the best adaptations I've seen desu

>>12374665
Hollywood will pervert anything that you put in front of them. The best adaptation is no adaptation.

This. Stephen King hates because he turned the protagonist from a poor sensitive author-insert misled by demons into a full on crazy person, but that's just Kubrick seeing through the pity-me garbage.

Based Kubrick.

>>the peak of cinema
it's not even the best Kubrick film
even his best is hardly the peak of cinema, although I love him as a director
this post just goes to show how ignorant you are about cinema, like a lot of pretentious twats here, who think literature is the only worthy art medium
plus, >>12374676 and >>12374690 are right, it's got nothing to do with it
