I believe Blade Runner was an intermediate adaptation because I had a lot of the original story. But they changed the names, the location, and the ending. So in this case I believe this could be categorized as an analogy adaptation. I think the filmmakers changed what they had to change because they only had 'X' amount of time to shoot the film in. Plus it seems the filmmakers tried to make it easier for audiences to understand. But it made me more confused after reading the book and then watching the movie. I don't understand why Hollywood wanted to take this story and change almost everything. In my opinion I think they should have done a loose adaptation and just have changed everything and make a completely better story and movie. In conclusion, I didn't like either the book nor the movie.
