<p>I remember seeing Dean J post in a thread that writing about an influential film is okay, as long it’s not based on a book. The movie I want to write about is “loosely based” on a pretty obscure novel. Would this be okay? </p>
<p>The movie is Tim Burton’s Big Fish, by the way.</p>
<p>“loosely based?”
that’s real risky
its title the same as the book its based off it
unless dean j says otherwise in this forum, i wouldn’t do it</p>
<p>There are so many great films out there, why take a chance on running afoul of admissions’ no-nos?</p>
<p>
That wasn’t supposed to be a hard and fast rule. It’s just unfortunate when someone writes about Les Miserables, for example, and they are referencing the musical, not the book.</p>
<p>Use your judgement…if you feel strongly about the movie because it was a great adaption, write about the movie.</p>
<p>can the piece of art be a simple sketch that’s not famous or well-known?</p>
<p>my essay is about something my sister drew, i was trying to be creative, but now I’m concerned that this is not acceptable!</p>
