I feel for authors whose books are made into bad movies

I remember watching a Danish mini series based on the book Niels Klim's Underground Travels by the Norwegian–Danish author Ludvig Holberg. Written in 1741 and is a brilliant book. But the movie or mini series as it was is something of the worst shit i have ever seen. It one of the worst adaptation of a book into a movie that has ever been made. If Ludvig Holberg could see it i am sure i was turning around in his grave. When i was watching it all i could think was how is it possible to create this crap out of such a brilliant book.


The mini series is from 1984


I don`t really feel bad for them. But i agree that it may stop many people from reading the book and the book is almost always better than the movie
