I always try to view films based on books and the books they are based on as separate entities. Because there is no way a film can contain all that a book can. There's no way they can bring a character or a story to life in the same way.
If I had to choose whether to only read books or only watch films for the rest of my life I would pick books. No contest.
Having said that, there's a whole lot of films based on books that I do like.
East of Eden is one of them. It's based on John Steinbeck's 1952 novel which he saw as his best work. I'm inclined to agree.
