A book and a movie can be so radically different that they are practically unrecognizable, yet both can have merit. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, for instance, which wildly deviates from the book.

He had good reasons, like he had not even read it: "
I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring … It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book."
The movie completely contradicts the point of the book; they are polar opposites. It may be an entertaining movie to some, but the book and movie should be viewed as completely independent works that share a title.
