Sharp Objects new HBO crime drama with Amy Adams *

The novel is vastly better!

 

I’m reading it now!

 

So was the loose tooth that Camille found in the dollhouse a new one from Amma’s missing friend Mae?

 

Spoiler

The intimation is yes. IIRC, if you look carefully at the tiles on the floor (a callback to the floor in the house when it's being shown off for the magazine shoot), they're teeth.

 

It’s different. Uses a different means to tell a similar story. One is internalized the other is externalized. The form of storytelling dictates the choices made for the narrative and hence the differences. A book has a harder time providi g the visceral power of a tv show or movie likewise, a film has a harder time providing the 8nternal monologue. Different experience, different means to the same end.

You’re comparing your own narrative (you are the director) version of the same story to a film director and writers.
