Adaptations cost little to adapt into a film, so long as the writers and the filmmaker of said film stay true to the original material while changing things around a bit to make the story better or deviate from the original story to make a successful film. There are absolutely no development costs and time spent on creating original material. I believe that is why they are an attractive and lucrative proposition to producers and filmmakers alike. But that doesn’t excuse a bad film to spring from a good or great book or fairy tale. Cinderella for instance, has been adapted so many times that I believe that the audience are either getting fed up or annoyed, or both.

When I take a look at criticism of any film discussed on any social media platform, I find that the harsh criticism received comes from people who are simply being subjective for the sake of getting views or attention. So, I conducted an experiment: I watched the films that the critics were harshly criticize and found that these films were actually quite good. On the flip side, I also found that the films that the same critics were praising were the ones that deserve one or no star ratings. The best thing to do is to watch the film and judge it for yourself. Plain and simple.

When it comes to the issue of the representation of the LGBT characters as the main characters, there only a few and the producers aren’t willing to put their money where their mouth is. They may claim that the are supportive of the LGBT community, but never show this with their films. The majority of filmmakers, which includes the guys I went to film school with, contradict their statements or what they say when they make films glorifying the love between a man and a woman. Some even go as far as glorifying the female form and the hetrosexual love to the Max.
