    Kazuo Ishiguro, the author of “Klara and the Sun” does a beautiful job of describing why it’s good for adapters to make a story their own for a film instead of trying to copy something line-for-line. *coughcough future critics of Klara film*

Still playing: YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, STREET FIGHTER, YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER, WHALEFALL, FORGOTTEN ISLAND, even a few DEVILS screens. Wow.

    I get nervous and protective when a beloved book is made into a movie. What if people hate it? What if it doesn’t translate well to screen? (I am doubtful). Anyway, please read Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. And maybe watch the movie in October, but only in that order. #booksky

    Klara and the Sun is going to win Jenna Ortega awards. It’s a relentlessly physical performance and it’s one that’s entirely without front. She’s working her ass off, invisibly, for the entire movie. It’s very tender, and kind, and brutal. Not because of violence but innocence.

    I enjoyed reading Klara and the Sun, but the movie trailer makes it look like a parody or maybe comedy? The book was so full of existential dread and thought provoking themes. Klara is not a robot version of Loonete (a character I adore BTW).
