Translations

I think that translating a book to a movie is a very difficult task. The director needs to make sure he stays somewhat true to the original text, but he must also add interesting aspects to make his movie entertaing and enjoyable. It is a tricky thing to do because if they change it too much it is too extreme and there are too much changes and if they don't change it enough it is not original and may even be considered boring. A director also has to worry about offending the author of the original text with his final draft of the film.
