You posted it.
Adam Johnson
That's good to hear. I was expecting the first post to shit on me.
Jaxon Long
The Lion King.
Michael Sanders
Throne of Blood too
William White
My mother says Ran means chaos in japanese.
Angel Roberts
It can mean a variety of things, but 'chaos' is among them, to be certain.
Blake Garcia
Has he done any other shakespeare's adaptations besides Throne of Blood and Ran? I've only seen Ran. I'm sure there are more though.
Andrew Ward
That's all he did for Shakespeare, but there's also this:
Adam Cooper
The Woman In The Dunes.
Camden Roberts
I have a copy of the French Gérard Depardieu Count of Monte Cristo to watch, is it any good?
Josiah Morris
Joseph Conrad is pulp fic, barely more sophisticated than James M. Cain
Cooper Harris
Yeah ok dude
Gavin Clark
lord of the rings trilogy
Adrian Hall
I couldn't make it through this film. And King Lear is one of my favourite pieces of /lit. It was too boring mang. Before you call me a pleb, I think Tokyo Story was a sublime masterpiece.
Anthony James
Fitting for a shit movie
Leo Miller
I'd have to agree user. My favourite as well.
OP's choice is solid.
Other good picks:
The Trial
Barry Lyndon
Prospero's Books
Nolan Lee
Bad sleep well was an adaption of hamlet
David Smith
O Brother Where Art Thou
Lucas Scott
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is on par with the book thanks to thpse narrations w/full, unaltered quotes
Landon Wright
Blade Runner
A Clockwork Orange
Connor Morales
:^)
William Price
both film adaptations of Brighton Rock are pretty good.
neither is 100% true to the book but they do keep the essential plot. the 1947 one is closer to the atmosphere of the book. the 2010 one changes the story to the mod era which is a bit unnecessary but andy serkis and helen mirren are great in it.
William Thompson
Yeah, wanted to post this. Other worthwhile picks:
>Hard to be a God
>Stalker
>Akira (fite me)
>Pasolini's Veeky Forums trilogy
Heard good shit about Satantango but haven0t seen it so I really can't comment.
Austin Evans
The Princess Bride is the only movie I've seen that surpasses the book it was based on.
Nathan Ortiz
heard you name was j.r.r. trollkien
brade runna
Alexander Green
Early Summer and Late Spring are both superior to Tokyo Story you hapless pleb
Ryan Fisher
The exorcist. Havent read the book
Nathan Cook
>Tokyo twilight isn't the best
Pleb
Jose Peterson
Satantango is better than the book. Kino could have very well ended with it desu.
Michael Brown
yeah, Tokyo Twilight and Early Spring are probably better as well
Bentley Turner
eyes wide shut
that was the movie that made me stop being a marxist and start being a patrishist
