Leonardo DiCaprio dancing with Michelle Williams in Martin Scorsese's 'Shutter Island'
Literature and cinema have always had a very close relationship, with the cinema adapting books of all genres to the big screen. There is no successful formula for a book adaptation, some of them end up bad and disappointing fans of the source material, while others might even end up better than the source material. The thriller genre seems to be a literature genre filmmakers love to adapt. Probably, due to most thrillers being rooted in realism.
Children of Men is a unique take on the apocalypse genre, as it relies on a more realistic approach than a science fiction one. The way society operates during the apocalypse in Children of Men seems like a possible outcome in the case of a real apocalypse. The pacing of Children of Men is slower. However, it feels like a deliberate choice to reflecting the hopelessness of the society depicted.
Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of A Clockwork Orange was praised by Anthony Burgess, despite the author having some issues with its subsequent success and its impact on his career. In its initial release, A Clockwork Orange became one of the very few major movies with an X rating, which the movie's graphically violent and sexual content deserved.
The Shining is an adaptation that King openly hates. However, King's disapproval of the movie doesn't affect how great the movie is. Kubrick’s movie has a very chilling atmosphere, unsettling visuals, and psychological complexity. The movie’s suspense builds through eerie, disorienting sequences. The Shining is only elevated by Nicholson's perfect portrayal of Jack, where audiences are genuinely terrified by him after he descends into madness.
Psycho is an adaptation that eclipses its source material due to its success, leaving a lot of viewers oblivious to the fact it was an adaptation of a novel. The movie revolutionized the thriller and horror genres with its unexpected plot twists and masterful direction. The movie’s suspense is built through its meticulously crafted story, with the infamous shower scene becoming one of the most memorable and shocking moments ever.
