Many of our greatest films have derived from adaptations of books and other source materials begging the inevitable question of whether the book was better than the movie. This is often relative to the faithfulness of the screenplay to its source, but there are many other films that thrive on its ability to differentiate themselves from their original material and use the medium of film to capture the essence of the source using filmmaking tools and techniques. These types of adaptation often question the idea of adaptation themselves, and the two films we discuss are Adaptation. (2002) and Clue (1985). Both films utilize filmmaking and screenwriting techniques to capture the essence of their unique source materials but translate them in very different ways.
