Book or Movie? 365 Days

So let us start talking about book to movie adaptations real quick. We love them and we hate them. Some of them flop and some of them soar. Some of them we wish they would give a do over even if it's in tv show format. Some of them we wish they had never touched when it comes down to it.

So what about 365 days? Honestly, it's a toss up for me. I enjoyed the book and there was so much more to the book than there was to the movie. The movie was good don't get me wrong. Don't come at me because I said it was good. It's not like I said it was great. It was good. 

However, let's talk about this. As a book it's great I loved a lot of the details. And it doesn't bother me about some of the aspects of the book. A mafia man kidnapping a woman to hope she falls in love with him after 365 days. Is that really idea for any woman. Not really but it's fiction. I can fall behind this. What happens in the book though is different from the movie. Not by a lot they just leave some things out. Some very hot things that the things they did show on the screen would be considered tame. 

The major plot points in the novel were all on screen. Except for the last part of the book. The last part of the book has been completely changed in the movie. I'm not sure if that was to set up for the next movie but I'm the end of the book and the end of the movie are both completely different. I wasn't sure how I felt about that towards the end after reading the book.

Because like all Americans I watched the movie before I read the book. The translated version of the book came out the day before my birthday and of course I purchased it and immediately started reading it. I was a little put off when I discovered so many changes but I loved the book as it's own entity. I love the movie as it's own entity. I do not love the idea of comparing the two together. So if I had to pick book or movie I'd pick the book hands down for the plane scene alone.
