What's the most faithful adaption of a book to film, regardless of quality?

Three Musketeers, Gene Kelly version

Fight Club. Chuck Pahluniuk says it's better, even.

Yeah... but the end is very different.

>all these answers
>no memes
Thunderball is really damn close, considering Ian Fleming wrote it first as a screenplay then just made it a novel instead
>>70980154
>most faithful adaption
>regardless of quality
what are you,autist?
I recall No Country For Old Men being pretty faithful.
>>70981943
this. the only two parts of it left out were the ones that should ave been left out. i would say it was perfect
Watchmen.
Holes.
>>70980069
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
You can't deny it.
Not really a book, but the Watchmen movie was pretty spot on when it comes to adapting the story to film.
>>70982282
Too bad Ozymandias was turned into a fagboy manlet
>>70982180
Sorcerer's stone was far more faithful.
The Shining
>>70980323
No it wasn't *
You may have thought the quality was good, but it wasn't purely true to the book and that's what this thread is about.
>>70982282
Except the grand plot is completely different, so it's obviously not a 1:1 adaptation.

I read the LOTR books before each of the movies, and I recall the Two Towers to be surprisingly accurate
>>70982421
Its a very close match to the book, very close. Considering it was such a short story.
Hard to find much else that close.
The Hobbit.
>>70982707
Lol...
Dune
Michael Haneke's adaptation of Kafka's unfinished novel The Castle ends when a character is in mid-sentence.
>>70982282
Pretty damn close, yeah
80s version of 1984.
>>70982805
Are you serious?
Choke was more accurate to the book than Fight Club
But it seems Chuck Pahluniuk books were just made for the screen
>>70980069
Probably some Straub/Huillet film.
>>70982838
It's been years since I saw the movie or read the book. Was it not that accurate?
Troy
The Shawshank Redemption from Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. Other than Red being played by Morgan Freeman when the book version was an Irishman, the movie was identical to the book. No scenes were even omitted, like they usually are for time reasons.

Movie had a new ending. The novella ends with Red boarding a bus, IIRC.

The Elves never came to Rohan's aid.
The Ents decide to go to war on their own accord.
Aragorn never almost died / got separated from the Rohirrim.
Eomer is not banished and is present at the battle of Helm's Deep; Erkenbrand is the man who arrives with Gandalf at the end of the battle.
Theoden sends his people to Dunharrow, not Helm's Deep for refuge.
Frodo and Sam going to Osgiliath is entirely fabricated. Also, Faramir desiring the ring was seen as a huge character change.
That's just a few things I can list off without much effort.
>>70982398
Philosopher's stone.
It's been ages since I read and watched A Clockwork Orange but I remember the movie being pretty faithful to the book
>>70983041
I'll have to go back and reread it. I always found it impressive that they managed to not exclude anything for the movie, but then the movie is almost 3 hours long and book was under 100 pages.
Ten commandments
Edge of Tomorrow.
>>70982914
Good one.
>>70980179
I agree. Misery deserves a mention, too.

>>70980069
Seriously, why do people think Lynch's Dune wasn't a faithful adaptation? Obviously many elements were minimized or deleted for time but when it comes to dialogue, characterization, and the majority of the plot, it stays very close to the novel. It's a flawed movie but it was a competent adaptation.
Maybe A Clockwork Orange, except the ending. A lot of the dialogue is straight from the book.
>>70983308
no not at all
>>70983847
Because it drops the entire idea that paul wasn't a hero, just another tyrant.
>>70982398
came here to post this. /thread. literally scene for scene exactly the same as the book
>>70982564
It being Manhattan and not "Aliens" was actually a good change.
>>70983308
pffftttttttttttttttttt
no
>>70984052
>american superweapon goes berserk
>america isn't blamed
>ww3 doesn't instantly start
nah
>>70984087
You seem to forget that America lost more cities than Russia. Maybe you should learn to pay attention, I know the movie was long but still.
>>70984087
You forgot the fact that the "americlap" superweapon also destroyed america
![banner_2917[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/t2Y8zO3.jpg "banner_2917[1].jpg")
The Hogfather was pretty faithful IIRC.
>>70984108
>>70984132
At the height of the cold war, the russians would firmly believe those reports were misinformation.
The US would believe manhattan defected and the reports of russian cities being destroyed were misinformation.
every ICBM in both arsenals would be in the air within minutes of cities being destroyed by manhattan with neither side willing to be the first to stand down.
but hey, this is easy trolling, right?
>>70980069
Sin city is probably try closest adaption to its written material that I've ever seen.
The smallest change was dwights inner monologue about Marv in the first movie was meant for the story a dame to kill for. Other than that it was basically the same as the comic
Outside of removing the part where Marie gets gangraped in the back of a car this was a very faithful adaption
>>70984235
Sure thing buddy, sure thing
>>70980468
Read the story before, but this is the first time I've seen the film. Why'd Mishima go with English instead of Kanji for the intro?
>>70982970
In the book Achilles only beat hector cause the God of the sun blinded hector.
Also yeah there was interactions with the gods and shit. So yeah you're pretty wrong on that....good movie though....good book too
>>70984235
Considering there wasn't a single nuclear launch and nearly a dozen cities in the world got wiped. Theres no way they would believe that was common misinformation given the extraordinary circumstances.
I don't think you understand something child, the Cold War remained Cold because the Soviets, and Americans weren't stupid. They would've had a dozen chances to blow the world up, but they didn't because they didn't slam keys in and buttons down at the first sight they believed something bad happened.
Not to mention Manhattan had a mental breakdown on live TV, of which the Soviets would very obviously have been informed of. THEY EVEN mention it in the movie that they up their invasion in Afghanistan because Manhattan is gone. Him going crazy and blowing everything up makes perfect sense. You dumb fuck

>there wasn't a single nuclear launch and nearly a dozen cities in the world got wiped
what are you on about
>>70984440
Obviously with no launches Manhattan running around blowing shit up would make sense to the Soviets. They would obviously be aware it wasn't some fake situation. Glad you chose to ignore everything else in the post though even though it disproves what your headcanon is.
>>70984368
>Achilles only beat hector cause the God of the sun blinded hector
You know that's wrong right?
>>70984431
Or Sin City
>>70984564
Sin city has beem posted
>>70984536
Like 90 % sure it's right. It might've been a different God. But I do remember some god interfering with the fight when hector got the upper hand and then got him killed, and i got really pissed when it happened.
If you can prove otherwise go ahead, I won't argue, but I'm more than positive that's what happens
>>70984489
I'm still not following your non-logic here.
you're saying the because the russians knew it was manhattan that destroyed MOSCOW, and not a nuclear weapon, even thought manhattan was the US of A's ultimate weapon and ultimate nuclear deterrent and nuclear defense, in the setting, they would just be fine with an american super weapon destroying their centers of government? Because they'd somehow instantly (magically) know it wasn't just russian cities and completely trust the reports of US cities being vaporized?
>>70981201

>>70984650
You know that scene that Nixon stands in front of, and watches the entire East Coast Explode and vanish?
Do you honestly believe that singular bit of technology is only in America? Do you honestly think a dozen of the worlds largest cities could all suddenly explode, and the Russians would just go "Nah its misinformation launch the nukes"
I'm glad you never had a say in the Cold War we'd all be dead because you saw a fucking flock of geese.
>>70984646
Hector never had the upperhand, ever. Athena did some shenanigans with a spear or something but it wasn't the reason why Achilles won, he just straight up beasted Hector on his own.
Read a proper translation of the Iliad instead of some hack authors interpretation, i'm not gonna go out of my way to educate you.
>>70984052
Re-read the OP.

bait?
>>70984733
>millions of people dying in a clear attack from a known to be mentally unstable sentient ameircan superweapon
>a flock of geese
You said earlier. The cold war stayed cold because of mutually assured destruction.
manhattan striking first would kick the war out of coldness.
>>70984885
You don't know about the flock of geese thing? Or the balloons? Jesus man how long did you live under that rock?
>>70980069
If you seen this movie, you've essentially "read" the book. The parts left out were the sub plot involving Johnny Fontaine and the vagina doctor. Godfather part 2 uses Vito's story from the book as well
>>70984804
Not educating me. As far as I see it, I'm right and you got it wrong. Literally the first part shown in the book everyone was cheering for hector that he's got Achilles and to finish him.
Re educate your self boyo
>>70984938
again, you're comparing MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DYING, to equipment errors that resulted in no actual casualties.
>>70984964
Did they ever do a part 3 in the books, taking place after the second godfather? I know they combined godfather 2 with the prequel book. And I know that abortion godfather 3 wasn't the authors work
>>70984938
You happen to remember the name of that Russian guy who refused to launch because he suspected there was a radar malfunction and it turned out to be paper down in the circuit board or something?
In my book, that balls of steel sonofabitch is the greatest hero of the twentieth century, east or west.
>>70984972
Oh I see, you've realised you're wrong so now you're going to push it to retard levels so that you can be like 'lel you fell for le bait'.
>>70982914
That movie is a God damn masterpiece. It'll probably be outlawed as Hate Speech under the Diversity and Safe Space Act
>>70985071
I honestly can't tell if your trolling now. Whatever...believe what you want. Go look for yourself so at least the both of us can see what a moron you are for assuming so hard that you were right
>>70982914
you mean the 1984 version of 1984?

>>70983613
Nah man, the movie covers maybe 25% of the novel
The Green Mile is a faithful King adaptation
>>70982180
Fucking this
>>70982398
>>70983164
Thats not even an adaptation because that would imply it wasn't copy pasted but done with some sort of originality. Deathly hallows part 1 is a great adaptation and the liberties they took went along perfect with the film and book and ended up being better than it ever was. That's an adaptation. PS is second
Rosemary's Baby. Polanski didn't realize he had creative control and instead made the film as detailed as he could, right down to furniture and clothing.
>>70985366
Thank you. Sick of this tard who read a 100 page childrens book about Troy and thinks he knows shit.
Shogun. The movie was just a snipped version of the miniseries and James Clavell worked very hard to maintain the integrity of his story in the adaptation.
>>70984963
But I poop from there!
>>70985366
Damn I forgot how based Achilles was but desu I always preferred the Odyssey
>>70980069
>Dune
>Faithful to the book
It isn't even some 2deep4me book and yet the movie misses a lot of points
Sorcerer's Stone may be the very best adaptation.
>>70982970
>no crazy Iliad movie
>No seeing Diomedes raping shit
>No seeing Achilles making Diomedes look tame in comparision
>>70985488
Nah the version I read was different and probably the more truer version....I'm still right
>>70983847
>why do people think Lynch's Dune wasn't a faithful adaptation? Obviously many elements were minimized or deleted

>>70985885
yeah he copypasted the design of hogwarts, the costumes, the music, the ambiance, the acting
>>70985715
Not even mad just amazed you're reaching so far into your own anus to pull this shit out.
>>70985913
The other films had those same things relative to their books. Harry wears adidas and jeans on the cover of azkaban for example the adaptation os ecclectic just like the book. I'm just arguing for sake.
But I mean his adaptation wasnt really an adaptation it wasn't unique his shots werent different or doing anything special while also telling the story he just verbatim did it. Faithful sure. But an adaptation idk
>>70982616
is that a black guy I see in feudal Denmark
If Comics count, this was pretty much a perfect adaptation in imagery, story and dialogue.
>>70986283
helloooo reddit
>>70985938
No in all seriousness, I'll admit defeat, but I'll also admit that I wasn't aware there were different versions, plus I read it years ago and the version I read was not a "kiddie" version.
I'm looking it up and apparently there has been different versions of the fight, even one with them dueling it out in the middle of a battle. I think everything in mine was just about the same besides the fight.
That original version does sound more badass, but it also kinda seems to weaken Hectors character by having him be chased around 3 times like a chicken shit asshole.
Idk its hard to tell which version id prefer. One makes hector look like too much of a pussy, and the other one made them a little more equal until one of the gods interfered.
this is basically the book played out scene by scene

Rosemary's Baby. Polanski was too fucking stupid to realize he could change things.
>Roman Polanski was so faithful to the novel that he asked Ira Levin the date of the issue of the New Yorker in which Guy Woodhouse sees a shirt he wants. Levin confessed that he had made up the detail.
