Reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" was such a disappointment to me because I loved the movie so much. I would like to revisit it - maybe I would understand the parts about the empathy boxes and the wife's mood thing better now.
- scandox 11y agoI think it's important to recognise there is a minimal relationship between book and movie. If one keeps them mentally discrete it is much easier to enjoy both. Do Androids Dream... is a very spiritual book. The movie doesn't / can't capture that element and wisely creates a totally different experience from the same elements...
- sundarurfriend 11y agoFrom the other side, having read the book first, the movie was weird and boring, which was disappointing especially given the hype around it. I switched it off around halfway into it and never got back to giving it another try, so this is not really meant as a fair assessment of its quality, just sharing a very different experience from yours.
