you really went off on your description of the goldfinch ending and i am...here for it. i love that book so much! i am both excited and terrified for the film adaptation
*looks into the camera like i’m i the office* wait what?!!? a movie? i don’t know how to feel about the prospect of witnessing theo’s story on a big screen. i am not convinced this story translates well into visual media, but i am ready to change my mind if the movie adaption does the book justice. it’s just that there is not that much plot as there is in many hollywood movies? i mean, the goldfinch is literary fiction – a genre mainly defined by character-driven storytelling with a lot of inner monologue and contemplation – and stories like this adapt poorly to movie standards in most cases... the screenplay as well as the cinematography and acting have to be phenomenally intricate to fully convey & capture the book's essence! it’s quite a challenge for everyone working on this movie.
i have too many conflicting feelings about this to think clearly. and maybe i am too bias to trust film makers after being let down time and time again by book-to-movie adaptions :’)
