Movies Adapated From Books

I have seen 2 movies this week that have been adapted from books. Books that I loved. Loved, loved, loved. The reason I love to see these types of movies is because I am a very visual person. I can read a script for a play and visualize it on stage. I can read a book and know how I would make it into a movie. So here is my beef: If the book ends one way there is no reason to give it a HAPPY HOLLYWOOD ENDING!! Also on a side note, there is no reason to blow up The Burrow, but that is another story! I am all for creative license, in most cases, but the happy Hollywood ending is so over rated and must go. The girl and boy do not always end up together; sometimes the unexpected death happens; the bad guys sometimes win. This is all I am saying, we do not live in a world that allows for a happy ending always and the fat friend is not always for plucky comic relief. Well in my case I usually am there for comic relief, but again, another story! I have said my peace.
