The “Hollywood Effect” in Play As once said by John le Carre‚“Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes.” He explains how movies can change books into something completely different‚ we are able to see this illustrated between the movie and the story Beowulf. The book Beowulf‚ translated by Burton Raffel and the film Beowulf directed by Robert Zemeckis are two almost completely different versions of one story.

Accompanied by my translator‚ Hymavathi‚ I lived among the people for three weeks. The American culture I was raised in gifted me several prejudices against Hinduism that I was not aware of until I experienced for myself the truth about the religion.
