Gone Girl X The Corrections: A Little Comparison

i was reading <Gone Girl> and

still on <The Correction>

 

a little slow on < The Correction>

because i read it from my phone actually

and that’s like the last resort

when i got nothing else,

really left with no other option

i will read from my phone

 

it surprises me how

the two protagonist  share

traits in common

 

Chip in The Correction vs

Nick in Gone Girl

 

1. they write for a living
2. yet they struggles to make ends meet
3. they resort to teaching
4. and developed relationship with under-age girl
5. they are running away from home (figuratively)
6. old-fashioned home and parents
7. so there’s this neither there nor here dilemma
8. they don’t do well in the city yet
9. they refuse to go back to suburb
10. they have helpful sisters

 

i don’t know in what direction

the storyline of <The Corrections> is driving to

no.. i refuse to read synopsis

so probably i end up finding more similarities

 

last but not least

both (supposedly) to be adapted into movie / series

 

Gone Girl / The Movie / Coming Soon

 

 

The Corrections / 2012

doesn’t happen as planned

a HBO series

 

Deadline reports that

"Word is HBO brass liked the performances but

the decision came down to

adapting the book’s challenging narrative,

which moves through time and

cuts forwards and back.

While that works in the novel,

it proved difficult to sustain in a series and

challenging for viewers to follow,

hampering the potential show’s accessibility."

 

that’s why reading is still the best option after all

because translating the content onto screen

doesn’t represent what you read

and it’s of course subjected to

interpretation of the filmmakers

which could be quite different from

what you, the readers imagine

 

and opening in theatre this week

 

The Faults in Our Star / Movie / 2014

 

 

how would i put it

no offense but

somehow the image of Hazel Grace

falls short of what i have imagined

from reading the novel 

 

i expecting she to look like this:

• long hair, preferably some eye-catching colors
• really mesmerizing eyes
• extremely skinny, almost bony
• always wearing some oversized tops
• and around the age of 15

 

so i don’t know

how convincing the movie will be

if that’s not what i see in the trailer

 

but undeniably

the movie could still be great

 

that’s about all

 

hey i actually just spoke about

3 recent-reads in one single post

good job

 

keep the reading going, Steph
