She analogizes some people's complaints about this adaptation to her issues with Hulu's dramatization (or retelling) of a true story of murder among Mormon fundamentalists called Under The Banner of Heaven.

paraphrasing:

I had a lot invested in this story. I knew the story really well. I came into that show with the knowledge piece. For me, the show really missed the mark. I realize that yes other people have an interpretation of the story and the way they want to tell it and that was valid but I realized there's a sort of pain in not seeing your vision on the screen because you wanted it. Not to invalidate someone else's vision but I realized that I wanted something out of this show, it matters to me, and if it's not meeting those expectations there can be a frustration and they're never going to make another show about this, there's only going to be one, and for me, they focused on the wrong things and it's ok to kind of mourn that a bit.

I'm not invested in this show. I liked LoTR and Hobbit, was very happy with Peter Jackson's LoTR and disgusted by his Hobbit, but don't care at all about this show. Way saltier about how Jackson screwed up Hobbit than I'll ever be (immeasurably small amount) about this show, which would have fun if it was good but man there are so many things out there that are good.

I'm re-watching The Wire, dude.


Agreed.

Something about Art is to borrow an English word, is that we try to transform our own experiences, our own investments, our own affects and transfer those things into a "NOVEL" aka something New. We give our heart away and what we create as a final product is not the same as the blacksmith foundry we had to assemble to make it.

But the world is also changing while we are trying to create something new as an author, or we as fans of a previous retelling which for it to be adapted to a new sensory medium. The world feels so much more full than it used to due to reasons, thus telling something new is a changing thing in this changing world.

We are playing in the area of "our heart" and thus there is both heart-break, but also wish and full desire when our heart can skip a few beats when it feels alive and breathed into again if the art is capable of singing as its own instrument.

I guess my Heart-break occurred with Hobbits movies 1 and 2. Family dragged me to the 2nd one when I was not a big fan of the first (loved the books, loved the cartoon, love, love, love) and it was like salt in the womb when on the next Christmas one of the family members got me the DVD for the 2nd movie when I did not express my heartbreak and displeasure after seeing the 2nd movie .

For even though I was not a fan of it and I can list my complaints, everyone else in my family enjoyed it! So I kept my mouth shut.

And did anyone else in the family got the 2nd movie? No it was just me for I kept my mouth shut at the family gathering that occurred immediately afterword's so they took it as "accent" I liked it.
