Film adaptations of books do not always please fans because they can modify or omit key elements of the story or characters, creating a disconnect with the expectations of readers. Furthermore, the technical and artistic constraints of cinema can sometimes alter the very essence of the original work.
In film adaptations of books, it is common to see differences from the original work. These variations can be minor or major, but often elicit reactions from fans. Writers and directors sometimes take artistic liberties to make the story more dynamic or suitable for the cinematic format. This may involve changes in the plot, additions or deletions of characters, or even changes to the ending. Fans of the original book may thus feel a certain frustration when discovering these deviations from what they had imagined while reading the book. These differences can sometimes alter the tone, message, or essence of the work itself, which may explain why fans react passionately to these adaptations.
Film adaptations of books often evoke mixed reactions from fans due to changes in the interpretation of the characters. These modifications can be a source of controversy, as readers have specific expectations regarding the representation of the characters they love in the books. When the actors chosen to embody these characters do not match the mental image that readers have formed, it can lead to a certain disappointment. Sometimes, directors take artistic liberties by altering the personality traits, motivations, or even the physical appearance of the characters, which can confuse or even irritate the most loyal fans. Differences between the author's vision and that of the director can also be the cause of these changes, creating gaps between the representation of the characters as described in the book and that presented on screen.
During the film adaptation of a book, it is common for important scenes to be compressed or simply omitted.

This simplification can sometimes lead to a different interpretation of the story, distancing the film from the original literary work.
