WCH - I think you greatly misunderstand DeNiro's statement. This is this. This is not something else. This is this.
A book is a book.
A film is a film.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS is a book.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS is a series of movies.
The book is not the movies.
The movies are not the book.
To apply criteria from one to the other is folly and a violation of the reality of each.
