3 Great Movies Adapted From Books (Pt.2)
I'm thinking about making this into a series, but I want to see how people respond to it first. Many people have told me that 'this movie should not have been adapted into a movie' or 'they did not do this right in the film' and honestly, as someone who loves literature, I can agree to an extent. But, if I was going to just focus on how close the film is to the book and how honest to the source material it was, then I will end up never really understanding why the movie was made at all.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Internal Conflict
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Gandhi (1982)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

The Emancipation of The Female Lead
We all know the story of the psychopath who wants nothing more than to accrue power while he watches the world burn, but what about the tale of the dame who lives and breathes chaos and is emotionally complex to boot? Now take that, add witty dialogue, vibrant outfits to die for, dope music, a splash of violence, and an ensemble cast as brilliant as the lead, and you have yourself a movie that dazzles and entertains.

Movie Review: Survival Skills is a Trenchant Parody of Police Training
Director Quinn Armstrong’s new movie Survival Skills takes the perspective of a 1980’s police training video, complete with a VHS sheen and tracking issues, to create a parody of the seeming futility in the lives of Police Officers. The intent is both a dark humor and a plumbing of the depths of how poorly we have equipped ourselves for those who commit acts of terror against the people closest to them. Survival Skills is a little disjointed and not particularly funny for a parody but the impact is still felt.

3 Great Movies Adapted From Books
When it comes to films adapted from books, I love to investigate the way in which they have been adapted: what has been changed, if anything and who has been cast of which characters from the book. But the most important things about the adaptation is whether it gives off the same atmosphere and air as the book, whether it is scripted in the way the book would also be written even though using different speech and lines would be understandable.
