I know you're sitting there thinking, "How could you be so naive? Why would you put yourself through that kind of pain?" I knew what I was getting myself into. In fact, I went over the idea that it probably was going to be 10% true to the story and 90% whatever the the director/film company wanted to do.
I'm not new to this. I'm well aware of the pain that comes in the form of film and promises that my imagination will be shining on a white screen. There has been anger and disappointment but I thought that all the material was right there for a good movie.
... Two minutes in, everything was wrong. Characters were wrong (Why does this person show up now?), events were wrong (Why does this person have to die so soon?), and I yelled at the television. Poor little television, it's really not your fault...
So this Manic Monday goes out to all of the frustrated and upset people out there. Not because work was crazy, but because someone destroyed your favorite book on the silver screen. You are not alone.
If you feel like you need some therapy time please feel free to leave a comment about your disappointment below. I'm listening...
