The golden compass' visual style is a lot more magical and fairytale-esque, while the series is a lot more grim and a lot of the sets are less grand and more down to earth (though some are actually bigger and grander). While it definitely was a conscious effort, it also definitely helped with the smaller budget.

In my opinion you can definitely see that the bbc series was somewhat influenced by the 2007 film and not purely its own adaptation of the books. When certain shots are compared side by side like this, you can tell they referenced the film to get an idea of how to shoot certain scenes. I think this is ok! I also think it means the 2007 movie deserves more credit for its visual direction. It took a lot of liberties with the source material, yes, but people are also too eager to overlook what it did right, a mistake the bbc team didn’t make. They didn’t dismiss the films existence but rather built upon its (few) strengths.

The BBC series is more accurate to the books than the film. Firstable cause the series tells the story for not a child target like they did with the movie and all the sense of the books disappeared. Secondly, in a film the cost of the production is highly more than in a TV show so all of the costs will be more awesome in the film than in the show. And finally, about the cast, I will say that Ruth Wilson takes Ms Coulter to another level overpassing Nicole Kidman which made an amazing performance (like always) on that film. All of the cast from the series is more accurate (in my opinion) to the characters from the book than in the film.

When i saw the Golden Compas in the cinema, i was totaly caught in this fantasy atmosphere, it was soo well made, just perfect. His Dark Materials is to modern, it cant catch me like Compass.

The polar bears from the 2007 version look like they should be sipping cokes

It's interesting for me to see how many people here in the comments prefer the movie version of the daemons and their interactions with the people around them over the show version, while for me it was the entire opposite. Even though this video necessarily leaves out many scenes of Lyra and Pan from the show, as they were simply not included in the movie, you can tell the effort they put into showing the connection between a person and their daemon in the show just from these scenes. While in the movie, both are often shown apart from each other and not really taking notice of each other, in the show they have constant conversations, eye contact, including them into the action (compare for example Lyra looking at the alethiometer, where in the show she actively slides over to look at it together with Pan). Still people find the movie version more appealing because there are more hugs and the like, even though those hugs often remain the only interaction they have. I wonder if that might be a cultural difference here. Emotion in US-American productions often seem to be shown through overly expressive actions (like dramatic hugs), that can quickly feel "over the top" to Europeans, while we tend to portray emotion with subtle interactions without having to constantly be on top of each other.

Casual fans don't care about details and character developments; they just simply want to be entertained for 2 hours along with their favorite actors, CGI, and as you said, the over the top emotions. I'm not American nor European but many people in the world also are used to Hollywood films with their over-the-top everything. Casual audience will never be able to sit through eight to twelve hours of TV, it made them restless. I know this from experience that casual audience seriously prefers bad movies as long they have big budget stuff that bedazzles them instead of quality storytelling.

Honestly, I would blame the book a bit for that, since the movie is much more attached to the book than the series. Now reading the book, I really feel that Lyla's interaction with her daimono is a bit dry, to say the least, and like in the movie, there are many moments where they hug and cry, to show how important the bond of human and daimono, but there are also other parts where Lyla and her daimono hardly speak or interact with each other. There are really many parts of the book where I wish they would give more detail about daimonos and what they do.

There’s so much less gold in the palatte and fewer dramatic shots, which I feel fits better with the books’ character than the depthless epic fantasy vibe they were tryna go for in the film tbh

What's smart about the show is that you see the fights through Lyra's eyes which makes the scenes very immersive, and is a great way for the show to save money 😉

okay but Stelmatia carrying Pan in her mouth only to promptly toss him to the side all pissed off while Asriel holds Lyra by the arm to give her a talking to is the best part of The Golden Compass, change my mind

I honestly didn’t really like the movie because it didn’t really have good pacing. As a TV show, we got more time to see the characters develop

Wow thank you for this video! I'm sad the 2007 movie didn't have sequels. Such a great cast and production development but HBO Max & BBC's adaptation is gorgeously rendered. Beautiful cinematography, screenplay, and casting characterizations.

I like both versions. I think that the series would be way greater if they could do it with movie actors. Nicole Kidman's acting was more mysterious and motherly (in case of her daughter), series actress was good but looked quite unstable in her mind. Eva Green's witch looked better, series one reminds me of witch from DmC tbh, which doesn't fit here (however she played it great). Also the atmosphere of movie is more magical and soft while atmosphere of series reminds me movies about WW2. Anyway, both versions actors did great job.

Their dark materials

The film is all in all not that bad, and in many instances follows the book more closely than the series. It is a bit too colorful and happy, but I guess that's what they aimed for. The main things they did wrong was somehow putting Svalbard before Bolvangar, and also not making the whole series. I don't like that they cut the ending (would love a director's cut as well), but it is acceptable since they never made any more films anyways.

The actors they got to play Roger in the 2007 and 2019 versions look almost uncannily similar

I think I'm in the minority when I say I think the film is better. Yes, I have read the books (the first one at least - I need to get to the others) and I know the film missed out the true ending. But overall I think the casting, the visuals, the music and just the general vibe was better. It captured the spirit of the book better imo. Maybe it's just nostalgia on my part because I grew up with the film but the series lacked that magical feeling that I loved about this story. Plus, they royally screwed up the bear fight and I can't forgive them for that because it's the best scene in both the book and the film.

I know people prefer the HBO series, and I can appreciate for what it is. But geez, the film. The cast, the colors, the aesthetic, I maintain it all looks rather great. I know the film had more money, but it was totally meddled with by the studio. The series may not have had the budget, but they did have the time, and the producers had much more control, and it's still not really book accurate at all. There are parts I enjoy, and other parts I just don't get what they're going for. The gyptians, for instance. Aren't they supposed to be exotic Mediterranean gypsies or something? These jokers in the show look like they should be running a flea market around Cleveland or some such. Just very bland and boring.

Thank you, Matt, for a truly phenomenal video. I have played around with DaVinci 16 (free edition) and what you have done took some dedicated work. It was well done, I still like the characterizations from the movie more than the series; I feel they reflect the people as described in the book more accurately. If you notice, once the series got past what was covered in the movie, they seemed to loosen up and follow the book more closely. At first, I was worried about interjecting the scenes from the second book (Will's back story) but it worked and I think might be worthwhile going forward. I am still not happy with them taking an ultra-minor character in Lord Boreal and making him such an important figure. I hope this second season ends the way it should if you catch my drift. Stay safe and healthy.

I like The Golden Compass's cast more than His Dark Materials's cast Also the Golden Compass in the movie is more beautiful than the show

Lyra's relationship with her mother is one of the best thing in the series. So strong and emotional always making my eyes tear up

this movie to series adaptation is one of the best example out there. You can mix and match both media and theyre all very cohesive. Amazing

thank you this was super interesting

Don't get me wrong, I love the TV-series, but something about The Golden Compass just seems far more magical. Everything to the odd carriages and the golden color scheme. They even used swords instead of guns. Plus, the daemons seem more connected in the movie compared to the show. Even though the bears aren't daemons Lyra still showed more compassion with him compared to the Lyra in the show. (11:05) One of the reasons why the concept was so unique was because of the daemons, which the show did not seem to.. well.. show.

Both versions have their advantages! I really liked the 2007 film (I knew nothing about the books back then) and I loved the 2019 series. In this great video you can see how the film got many things looking much more glamorous, in the series only the CGI creatures look naturally better. But the film 'censored' many things and cut short the story of the first book before the dark twist ending. With the budget of the film and the story of the series, it would've been perfect, but still, both stand very well on their own.

Really I wonder where they were going with that ending back then, since they had planned to adapt all the books. Roger survives, no opening between worlds so how does Lyra travel to Cittagazze and meet Will in the second movie ? Also if Roger is alive, how does Lyra decide to go the Land of the Dead in the third movie ?

@AbelMcTalisker

3 жыл бұрын

Good point, the basic problem is the complexity of the story and trying to give an idea of what is going on in a single movie was always going to be difficult and I don`t think they entirely managed to pull it off. I really don`t know how they planned to continue the second movie as they not only have to resolve the whole death of Roger scene (perhaps one of these days we might get a special edition with the original ending restored?) but then jump away from Lyra`s story and introduce Will, A whole separate movie in itself! I suppose they might have just followed Will for the entire movie after Rogers death and just have him meet up with Lyra in Cittagazze at the end, intending to make four movies at least. I suspect though that the critics would have had a field day and a lot of the audience that liked the fantasy elements of the first film would be disappointed with a second one that takes place entirely in our world with few fantasy elements and a different protagonist. At least the TV series has the longer run time so they can tell Will and Lyra`s stories in parallel and season 2 can start in Cittagazze.

I think some characters was quite off compare to how the book explained them. Asriel was a dark face man while Marisa was a woman with black hair with length up to her face. The 2007 messed it up. The mini series was quite there but I'm not that convinced that their portrayal of Asriel.

The film had such an aesthetic that is difficult to find even in nowadays films or tv series. It was just so unique and the acting was on point. People are saying that the series is way better in the plot and the acting and they’re right because it’s a series, there’s more time to see and react to the characters than in a max 3 hour film. But if the “Golden Compass” had been in series format, it wouldn’t have had much to envy “His dark materials.” Still, I like how their retook this amazing books and gave an end to the trilogy. God knows how much I’ve wanted a sequel of the Golden Compass.
