Anyone else has problems understanding descriptions of places in books? Most of the times they don't even make sense.
And if the writer tries to get all poetic with the description its even worse, then I literally have no clue what they are talking about.
Unironically, is it autism?

This is where "the book was better" shills lose footing. Film is fundamentally visual, which offers a great opportunity to bring that book scene description to life, especially with fantasy. With film, it doesn't matter if the story isn't adhered to 100%, as the aesthetic experience provided by artist interpretations of the book is the focus.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 5 13:23:07 2022 No.20943965 >>20943773 it's about associations, what certain words and their combinations conjure up in your mind

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 5 13:26:26 2022 No.20943973 Why the fuck do writers do this? I don't ever want to hear about the useless faggot details but they have such enthusiasm for describing a fucking road

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 5 13:29:31 2022 No.20943976 you guys know you don't have to read everything right? if you don't care about the autism descriptions just skim past

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 5 16:30:06 2022 No.20944634 >>20943937 the advantage books have is that the author can describe what the characters are thinking many novels nowadays just try to be a movie in words tho perhaps cos they want their novel to be adapted into a movie
