Tales from Earthsea is a 2006 film based loosely on some of the characters in the Ursula Le Guin fantasy series. It is not an adaptation of the books, and reviews are mixed depending on whether or not that's what was wanted. I watched it on HBO Max and liked it fine.

...I like the soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteYes, nice!
DeleteI've never read the book series, and I really mean to do that. Of course I really mean to read a lot of books and my wish list has gotten quite long. Grin. Happy Friday Nita.
ReplyDeleteI read them way back in the day. They are short and easy to read. I kept the books for decades, but I don't still have them.
DeleteI'll add this to my list
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what the HBOMax/Discover+ news will mean.
DeleteI have never heard of the books or the film, shame on me! Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou won't get any shaming from me lol There are sooo many books and movies, and I haven't heard of most of them.
DeleteThere's always controversy when films aren't the same as the books, either way as long as you know it can still be enjoyable 😊. Thanks for sharing. Happy Friday and weekend! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteSometimes it makes for a better movie when they don't hew too closely to the book. But sometimes when they veer too far it feels like a betrayal. It does matter what the audience expects, too.
