I agree! I was just going to say that the flashbacks in particular would e great in a film. I too am always dissapointed in film versions. I feel this is because when you read a book you visualize it as you want to when you watch a film you're watching someone else's vision of that storylineSdejardine wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 10:22 I think this book would do well in the film industry.

While there are some similarities, I find the books stand alone on their own and should not be confused as sequels or such. I am always excited to see a book I read become a film. Often times I am disappointed in the film version, but that is what separates book lovers from the rest of the world.

I think a great screen writer could help develop the three couples to make them more distinct from one another and to show the intensity of their love.HGreenfield04 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 13:05 I would love to see the different couple brought to life. I think it could be made into an absolutely beautiful movie.

Oh absolutely! Each couple along with the art and the time periods could make for a visually stunning movie. (beautiful ) But it would have to be done just right otherwise it could go left and fall flat.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 14:37I think a great screen writer could help develop the three couples to make them more distinct from one another and to show the intensity of their love.HGreenfield04 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 13:05 I would love to see the different couple brought to life.

Agreed. I think a larger audience would be appropriate for this story if the relationships were presented in a PG13 version. I don't think it would take anything away from it either. There would probably be more people attracted to the story in relation to the number of people who would be deterred by the lack of sex scenes. A younger audience could enjoy the film. Especially given this storyline doesn't really lead a reader/viewer to anticipate or look forward to romance/eroticism.greenstripedgiraffe wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 12:10 I think this would make a good movie. My personal opinion would be to tone down the adult scenes, but I'm sure there are plenty who would like those sections also. Some of the author's imagery would play well on the screen.

I think I would prefer the movie to the book in this case, assuming it is done well. The areas that I thought needed improvement could definitely be improved upon. It has great potential. It also helps when you aren't absolutely in love with a book. When a story is done so well you can't really imagine it being done any better, that makes it harder to appreciate it in a visual format.Sdejardine wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 10:22 I think this book would do well in the film industry.

I have a feeling a movie version would play up the erotic scenes. I could definitely see some plot points being completely eliminated such as Scordato's sexual harassment. There is too much going on in the book and a screenwriter would probably cut out the excess to make a smoother, more suspenseful flow.greenstripedgiraffe wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 12:10 I think this would make a good movie.
