While humorously narrating these special circumstances to Benjamin, Charles Webb addresses deep issues about the characters and their lives. Mike Nichols’ 1967 film also largely retains the Web of writing and narrative elements to remain among the most respected Hollywood classics in its genre for decades to come.

4. The Searchers

Starring Hollywood celebrities such as John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, and Natalie Wood, The Searchers is based on a novel by Alan Leh that tells a true story of its own. Except for the renaming of John Wayne from Amos to Eaton, the film remains entirely faithful to the book.

Its book, however, is an autobiography or autobiography by Salomon Northup (1853). A free black man in northern New York, he is arrested and then sold into slavery.

Mary Poppins, for example, is a more stubborn and violent character in books, and there are also various magical scenes that Walt Disney and his colleagues have omitted.

 

7. The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz by Al. Frank Baum and illustrated by William Wallace Denslow, published May 17, 1900. The story goes that Dorothy lives with her aunt and uncle and her dog until they lose their house due to a severe tornado.

8. The Quiet American

Graham Greene’s novel “Quiet American” was adapted twice; The 1958 version fundamentally changes the novel’s main theme, and the 2002 version, which shows great loyalty to its source of adaptation.

9. Jurassic Park

This case – and of course the next – are among the films that many audiences do not know have been adapted from a book. “Jurassic Park” is one of Hollywood’s most important movie franchises today, starting with Jurassic Park 1993 (Steven Spielberg).

Although Steven Spielberg’s film did an outstanding job, Michael Creighton’s novel is undoubtedly on another level. Creighton’s book bears no resemblance to the blockbuster atmosphere of Jurassic Park movies. In fact, it beautifully depicts the bloody, bitter, and menacing aspects of the attack of creatures such as dinosaurs.

However, Spielberg has made sweeping changes to the story that goes as far as characterization. Consequently, if you are really interested in the world of Jurassic Park, you should read its book.

10. The Godfather

One really can’t find a movie lover unfamiliar with the “Godfather” trilogy. However, few people know that these films are based on Mario Pozzo’s book. However, it cannot deny that Francis Ford Coppola went beyond the source of his adaptation and his handiwork is not comparable to Pozzo’s book.

The first film in The Godfather trilogy, starring Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Kahn, and Diane Keaton, was released in 1973 and is still considered by many to be the greatest film in the history of cinema; A memorable cinematic adaptation.
