I think Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a great example that being "faithful" is not entirely important. It was first a radio show, then a book, then a play, then a movie. Each iteration changes the story a bit, but keeps the core humor and ideas. So even when you know the story, each medium provides a different view on the same story. After delving into the many iterations of Hitchhiker's, "faithfulness" is not as important to me. I see movie adaptations as a creative and different way to retell a story.
