CHECK OUT THESE TOP 10 BEST QUOTES FROM MOVIE ADAPTATIONS - AND WHY WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
Popular movies like Twilight, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter have quotes that will live on for generations. Keep reading to see the Top 10 Best Quotes from movie adaptations.
WHICH MOVIE ADAPTATIONS HAVE THE BEST QUOTES?
Twilight, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings… do these titles ring a bell? They should, they are four of the most popular movie adaptations, ever.
What made them so popular? Well, world-building is a big trend that all popular movie and tv show adaptations share. As readers (and movie viewers) we LOVE escapism. We don’t read or watch epic movies to be reminded of our daily life, we do it so we can get away from our world and immerse ourselves in something more fantastical.
The characters are equally influential in how successful an adaptation will be. Characters need to be relatable, but also not like anyone we have ever met before. The characters need to have just enough personality so we can feel connected to them – we should see a character and think “Oh my gosh, I do that too!”. However, they also need to be outlandish in a way that makes us want to strive to be like them, for better or worse. It’s hard to find a balance between relatable and fictional, but these top movie adaptations nailed it!
HOW DO QUOTES BECOME SO POPULAR?
Lines from movies become popular through one main source – sharing.
Once upon a time, quotes were shared through platforms like MySpace and email. Now we use TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. These sites have made it easy for specific quotes to make its way into a variety of groups and niches. With the possibility of going “viral”, quotes are able to reach hundreds of thousands of people all over the world within just a couple of days.
