Another crap for this decade
How many times are they going to use this novel? there are three previous version. Adapt some new $hit FFS!!!
shareHow about FFS you don't bother watching it and see something more attuned to the low level of your brain activity?
sharelow level of your brain activity
Yeah right! so watching dumb movies based on romantic novels is a sign of high level brain activity, you live in a small world. share

It's very possible that your brain is functioning normally, that there's nothing physically out-of-wack, it may just be simple ignorance and the basic impulse to attack something you don't understand, or don't identify with - maybe a woman cheated on you at some point, so you have a chip on your shoulder. Who Knows? Dismissing Madame Bovary as a romantic novel shows you don't know what you're talking about - it's a lot more than that, but it's possible, maybe probable, that you haven't read it. If I were to lump "A Farewell to Arms" along with "American Sniper" as being testosterone-driven, dumb, chest-beating books for angry males uncertain of their own masculinity, I would sound equally foolish, wouldn't I. share
Obvious troll is obvious, folks.
You four-eyed psycho.
Dismissing Madame Bovary as a romantic novel shows you don't know what you're talking about
Emma Bovary is the novel's protagonist and is the main source of the novel's title (Charles's mother and his former wife are also referred to as Madame Bovary, while their daughter remains Mademoiselle Bovary). She has a highly romanticized view of the world and craves beauty, wealth, passion, and high society.
And you certainly know all about this Novel!

And you understand me perfectly thats why you attacking me! tells a lot about your testosterone-driven, dumb, chest-beating personality, as a matter of here are my two threads against American Sniper, judgmental pricks like you think you have higher taste because you read few books. Fking culture clerics. You sound not only foolish but a dumb idiot who doesnt know WTF he is talking about. Although I dont speak primarily and I could give you lecture on Romanticism but Google is your friend, literary A hole

I don't think you understood what the context was re my reference to "American Sniper", but that's fine. As far as Madame Bovary, I think you're understanding of that book is all on the surface when you refer to it as a dumb romantic novel.
She has a highly romanticized view of the world and craves beauty, wealth, passion, and high society.

I've read Madame Bovary multiple times, but I wouldn't say that I know ALL about the book, I do know enough though to see that in many ways it's the opposite of a romantic novel. Of course, Emma has a romanticized view of the world, but there is much more that Flaubert is doing in the story that in many ways is a subversion of a romantic novel - truth takes many forms, especially when exploring illusions. Someone could say that Moby Dick is an adventure story about the 19th century whaling industry, and that would be true, but it would be the most superficial kind of labeling and it would be missing the essence of the book, of what's really going on. If you've actually read Madame Bovary we could discuss what I'm talking about in more depth - I would be interested in that. If you haven't, and it's more that you are making assumptions about the story based on some kind of distaste for period romance genre, which you think the book is promoting, and you call "crap", it would be difficult to find any kind of traction. Personally, I didn't think you were a troll - what you wrote didn't sound troll-like to me, but I did feel you had some kind of ax to grind. Am I wrong? Have you read Madame Bovary? share
I know you are just a lonely angry troll but romantic is the last thing that comes to mind after reading Madame Bovary. Go watch your Transformers and drink some warm milk...and sorry about your p*nis.

Beautifully put - I think you nailed it. He obviously hasn't even read the book. share

I am sick of remakes/reboots too. And superhero franchises; how many Spiderman movies do we really need?
However, this boring film is not based on a romantic novel. It was written by a man as a biting satirical comment on seemingly sociopathic women that are obsessed with that fantasy world. That's right, obsessed! How much you ask?
So much, that they may become selfish human beings that seek successful husbands that aren't successful enough, compulsively shop beyond their financial means in order to destroy the hubby's credit while gaining a lien on the nice house and garden, have adulterous affairs with seemingly exciting young men (or "bad boys" that hunt) until they melodramatically commit suicide via a small bottle from a medicinal spice rack when aforementioned lovers won't coddle or make a sizable donation...leaving damage (and outstanding balances) in their wake while also destroying good people's lives...peeps that must go looking for a corpse at dusk before the invention of the flashlight.
Moral(s) of the story: It's amazing what havoc one emotionally unstable wife can make if she was raised on romance novels while devoid of a mother's love. And Darwinism is useful to help cleanse the gene pool of
such females. And standards of beauty for highly desirable women were easier to meet in the 19th century.
There you have it. It was a depressing, slow-moving, poorly written adaptation and remake of a strange satire on a supposed subset of seemingly sociopathic spouses. You've dodged a bullet.
