Novels To Movies Novels & Stories

“Yeah. It is all I could do when I was with Willow. Novels- they are like stories, aren't they?” “Yeah. So a movie is basically a physical demonstration of stories. Instead of them being written they are shown. So we don't have to imagine the actions, we can see it for ourselves.” “Oh, wow. That is amazing!” she says in awe. “But, are you saying everyone would gather to watch it? That seems uncomfortable. Why would they do that?”

“The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Inception, Interstellar, The Shawshank Redemption…” His response came back almost immediately: “Wait. THE NOTEBOOK? And Inception? And Interstellar? Okay we’re about to become best friends because those are literally my top movies.” And just like that, we had something to talk about. For the next two weeks, we texted about movies constantly. Not just surface-level stuff either. We’d analyze scenes, debate endings, talk about why certain movies made us feel things. He’d send me clips from his favorite moments. I’d send him recommendations. It felt easy. Natural. Like we’d been doing this forever.

During these nineteen years of my life, I have never come across a novel or movie where they show the reality. It's such a great irony that whatever they show never happens in real life. Or perhaps they do, oblivious to the many people all across the world to whom it's just a piece of fiction. We will never ever know. We have these wild imaginations like the avatar, hunger games, twilight saga, fast and furious, and others. I am not ashamed to say that some of the above-mentioned movies are indeed my favorite.

Ivana must have misunderstood his reaction because she cleared her throat and sat straighter. “I mean, it would make a great movie or series, sir. Most movies aren’t exactly the same as the books, but if we keep the main essence, it would be no problem,” his new temp explained. Calvin nodded. He liked the idea. He had to be sure he was doing it for the right person. “If it’s a book, a very popular book, the book world will go mad for it.” “A popular book?” he interrupted.
