  • Three Thousand Years of Longing Book vs Movie
    George Miller's latest movie is an adaption of The Djinn in the Nightingales Eye. An incredible story that takes place in modern day, but transports us back through the last three thousand years. The book and movie have some differing themes, but I think they have the same conclusion (though others may disagree with my interpretation).

  • Native Son Book vs Movies (1951, 1986, 2019)
    Richard Wright's famous novel has been adapted multiple times, the most recent version being modified to take place in todays day. Can any of these movies really compare to the book which goes so in depth into the character of Bigger Thomas and what led his to make the choices he did?
