Nora Ephron turned a ho-hum book into a delightful movie. Made from meat, vegetables, and spices, it brings flavor and just enough salt to enhance a dish without tipping it into over-salted territory.
(Heads up: there’s some serious nudity, but as my high school teacher would say, it’s nudity with a European sensibility–completely natural, not at all sexual.) Traditional bouillon cubes and powders are packed with salt and don’t bring much flavor to a recipe Better than Bouillon flips this. Forster’s classic becomes an absolutely gorgeous film, complete with soaring arias and Italian vistas.
#Better than bookmacster movie#
Occasionally, a movie will be better than its book. (For a richer appreciation of what makes a great movie great, I highly recommend McKee’s Story, which immensely deepened my appreciation of the craft.) Keep your bookmarks in one central store, accessible. Turned into books, they lose their greatness. Sync bookmarks of Safari Firefox, Chrome, and more among all your devices. Great movies are just that: great movies. They’re the Cliffs Notes, and no one reads those just for fun. They’re summaries, shells of the original. Try picking up any Charlie and Lola book, or the book version of the Charlie Brown Christmas special. This isn’t done frequently for adults ( thank goodness) but it happens with children’s books all the time. Even if the movie was wonderful, the book feels flat and empty in comparison. If you’ve ever read a book derived from a movie, you get this. Now, of course the way it will happen in real life is that users who have been running version 2.2. It’s more complete, more whole, more nuanced, more enjoyable. The book, as the original form, is better. The book is better than the movie because the movie was derived from the book. With very few exceptions, media is best enjoyed in the format in which it was originally conceived. After seeing a movie based on a book, I almost always say, “the book was better.”īut that doesn’t necessarily mean the book is better than the movie.
