Book v/s Show: Normal People and the Youthful Understanding of Love and Other Things

The popular 2018 coming-of-age book, Normal People, written by Sally Rooney and its 2020 adaptation follows its protagonists through the turmoil of Gen-Z relationships. The book derives its brilliance from spools of internal monologues; the show turns them into silent sequences while the action marinates in your head. While certain omissions could have enriched the show, it still remains a fabulous viewing experience.

Book v/s Movie: Crazy Rich Asians is Just as Opulent On Screen As On Paper

Kevin Kwan’s opus, Crazy Rich Asians, is a combination of extravagant weddings, climate-controlled closets, centuries of elitism, and pick-me women. On the other hand, Jon Chu’s rendition to the screen simplifies the conflicts but makes the characters more likable. Finally, the movie does stand the test of being a well-executed rom-com and leaves much-awaited pomp for the upcoming sequels.
