Hey, people!
I have a thought in my brain, and it has been on repeat for about a year, so I'm going to expunge it and make you read it because I feel like it.
If you enjoy a book series, and somewhere in the world somebody decides to make a movie series of said book series, and if said movie series isn't exactly like said book series, but you muchly enjoy said movie series anyway, and if your purist friends give you hell for loving said movie series, remember this:
A book doesn't just consist of what happens to whom where how and why. It consists partly of a gut feeling of belonging that's brought to you by the writing style, the mood, the themes, the character of the setting and of the characters themselves. It's a home away from home and a Heaven away from Earth. If the movies give you the same gut feeling as the books, no matter how much they deviate from the books, then so be it and God bless you. Don't let the purists make you feel like a traitor.
Also God bless the purists because they rock too and they keep us grounded. Have a banana, purists.
Here's to loose constructionism!
That's all I got to say about that, Beth out.
