Stories tend to live on. Since the advent of cinema, novels and shorter-form stories have been adapted to the silver screen and altered in various ways. Famous tales like "Hansel and Gretel" and "The Turn of the " have seen more cinematic adaptations than a person could count on one hand, but the more diluted and frequent the movies become, the more people appear to lose interest - and the higher their standards. In light of recent...
