a warning from my mum (1 Viewer)

[miss_pie]

um to all of you doing emma... incase no one has told you, my mum was saying that she read the book in anticipation of the movie coming out and was really disapointed because the movie is NOTHING like the book, theres even different characters and stuff... so dont rely on the movie

 

[iambored]

never rely on the movie

 

[hatty]

maybe ur mother read "The Three Musketeers" by mistake

 

[cro_angel]

really? i found the movie was really similar
r u sure she wasnt talking about clueless?

 

[iambored]

maybe she saw a different version, i am sure there would be more than 1 of the classics

 

[iambored]

you probably dont want to know this...

hmm i dont think its a bad idea, i might go

iambored is right - Never rely on the movie, of any text for that matter.

I thought the movie was better than the book, less complex - the book went on too much with sub plots and insignificant characters. There was no different names etc.. i think maybe ur mum saw clueless...

 

[mazza_728]

mm that screening and discussion might be worthwhile.. anyone planning to go??

 

[iambored]

it may be worthwile because there is a discussion, and then you may be able to relate what was discussed to the book

thats wat i thought.. im going to ask my english teacher if it should be suggested to the whole class and we should go as a schoolexcursion .. otherwise im just gonna go wit some friends.

I have to disagree, l found that the movie of Othello was better than the book - same characters, same events. I don't think l could have understood Othello until l saw the movie.

im plannign to go to that discussion sounds good

 

[skypryn]

i think there should be a new catergorie called "advice from our parent's threads". yeah i would trust you...had you not mentioned the part about your mother. that and im not doing emma/clueless

 

[cro_angel]
