how many of you all would like to see someone go through the similarities and differences between books vs film?

I wonder, how many of you all would like to see someone go through the similarities and differences between books vs film? For example, comparing a popular action film to a mystery novel of the 80s, book-to-film adaptations, and anything else that explores the different mediums of storytelling.

I don’t think I’d be interested in that to be honest.

That could be interesting. Personally, I'd like more in-depth comparisons between books and their film/show adaptations. Usually when people say the book was different, they don't give much specific details on what was changed.

I don't know if I would enjoy a general discussion of books vs films, but if it was a focused on a specific story then I would be on board. The idea would be to pick an event like Vietnam, and explore the different way movies and books explore the story. In this example you could discuss movies like Forest Gump or Apocalypse Now, and then discuss creative or thematic differences with books like The Things They Carried or They Were Soldiers Once...And Young.
