Book to Film Adaptations with Izzy from Be Kind Rewind
Since performance was a thing, crafting adaptations of beloved and epic stories has been a part of storytelling. The highest grossing film of all time, Gone with the Wind is an adaptation and the amount of Jane Austen adaptations could fill a whole textbook (and probably has). Today we are gonna talk about book adaptations. What makes a good one, a bad one, and what impact the big screen has had on the novel itself. Especially when only certain kinds of books get adapted.
