shoulda read heart of darkness first

shoulda read heart of darkness first

Had no idea oh well. Might give it a go sooner or later.

But why? That's not necessary by any means.

well for one it's a beautifully written book, plus the movie was based on it, so it would give an added dimension to the viewing, it's a pretty short book too. Oh and fool of me to forget that in the land of danes "should" implied necessity

But how would you say reading the book adds to the viewing? I don't see how not reading the book would make you miss the point of the movie. Sure, it's fun from a comparative point of view, but you might as well read the book afterwards and compare them there.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

whats the point of the movie?

 

[Völler]

whats the point of the movie?

What? You want me to explain why it was the necessary making the movie if there already was a book, or what the overall message or the movie is? And do you really expect me to explain either of those things?

 

[GordoDeCentral]

check your rep and dude no one said it was necessary, it will just add to the enjoyment imo gosh you danes need to get out more

But you still haven't said how it adds to the enjoyment.
And it's cold and it rains here, so I won't go out.

you never read a book and saw its adaptation on screen? you are voller of shit

Of course I have, and that can be annoying too. If you already have a certain view on things from the book, and the movie changes that drastically, then that can be quite irritating. And you tend to focus on how the movie and book are different instead of enjoying them as separate pieces of art.

And yes, I'm disagreeing on everything just for the sake of it.
