hello! im having a little copyright battle atm so if there are weird cuts and things missing, that's why :') i wish the version i had intended could be posted but oh well. so if you feel like something i said or an idea i mentioned isn't fully formed or you dont understand what i mean - pls ask me to clarify in the comments! especially when talking about certain things that happen in this film, i dont want there to be misunderstandings :') thank you!
"would you still love me if I was a worm" aka the epitome of romance
Nothing tops it 🪱
omg why is this so funny🤣 🤣
“don’t know what day it is, don’t know what time it is” as someone with the worst concept of time ever.. this line really spoke to me
Its a lifestyle hahahhaa
I’ve never read the book, but I loved the movie so much while growing up that I think I watched it over 15 times, it was one of my favorite... now I can’t even think about it lol
Omg whaaaat?! That amazes me hahaha
This film is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's no masterpiece but it has a place in my heart so I could never hate it.
I'm convinced that Stephenie Meyer has some repressed polyamorous desires that she pours into her writing. I'm convinced she can't write book 2 because she backed herself into an ending where Jared, Ian, Wanda and Melanie are definitely about to form a harem.
@Alie Chiasson a poly relationship would probably make her books better with how the Host was written, lol.
She's mormon... so...
NO THIS BROUGHT ME BACK TO A PHASE I WANTED TO FORGET
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my god!!! Me tooooo!!!
This accidentally became a guilty comfort book of mine that I’ve been rereading every once in a while since middle school/early high school, and now I’m in college. Yes it’s trash, but I consume it anyway lol
I've read it for the first time in 2012 and I still regularly reread it, it's such a pleasure to read! Some things are weird but the characters always felt more alive to me than in Stephenie's other books and I love the romance between Ian/Wanda and the relationship with Jamie, and Wanda/Mel friendship
Whenever I want to feel depressed I just read what Stephenie Meyer fans have to say about her. It's always one misogynist woman after another apologizing for reading books written by women, and ashamedly calling them guilty pleasures.
@@m.p.6039 I call it a guilty pleasure not because it’s a book written by a woman. I read plenty of those and enjoy them without reservations. I call this a guilty pleasure because the weird relationship dynamics that seem to come up in all of meyer’s books. In this one specifically, something I never liked was the fact that both relationships have an age gap that the characters can’t help but talk about and emphasize, which to me points at something deeper than characters who just happen to have an age gap. And when Wanda gets a new body in the end of the book, there’s a whole emphasis put on the fact that it’s a 16 year old body, while Ian is in his late 20s. Generally, I don’t mind age gaps, but I don’t like the weird way characters linger on it like a fun little naughty element of their relationships. I don’t think having a somewhat negative opinion of this specific romance novel makes me misogynistic.
Lol I never read the book, but this has been me with the movie. I was so bummed when they took it off Netflix
@@WhoCutTheCarrotbook is good. Try audiobook.
I remember this was my first ever big book and I was SO proud when I got to the end! I even did a presentation about a book/movie comparison for my English class in secondary school. This brought back nice memories!
omg hahhhaha
The book has kind of a special place in my heart because it introduced me to scifi when I was a kid. I think it has some really interesting concepts and relationship dynamics. Though like lot of scifi books and movies it just brushed over the question of colonialism. I do think it addressed it briefly (with the algae planet), but not not in depth enough. I hate how okay the group is with sending Souls to other planets as their solution. A sequel where Wanda and her friends try to help free other planets as well, would have been nice. My favorite parts of the book were when Wanda talked about the other planets, so it would be cool to actually go there.
agreed!! such potential and interesting ideas but....yeah
Omg I remember reading and actually loving this book so much when I was like 12/13, but seeing it after so long… well, I need to rethink whatever was my opinion, especially after your comment about colonialism
So many things went over our little heads 😖
I love this movie! It’s such a comfort film. It’s the equivalent of trashy romance novels but in movie form.
how have I never realised this is the "would you still love me if I was a worm" question come life 😂the accuracy wow
book + movie vlog we are really winning today!!!!
😂🙏
this book had such a chokehold on me growing up and i went to the midnight premiere of the movie and was so upset about how bad it was LOL it remains saoirse's only bad movie
The worst adaptations I have seen were the Percy Jackson movies, they literally could have changed the names and made it its own thing but instead, they decided to ruin my childhood. It astounds me that the second one was much worse than the first.
I hope that they one day redo it. We deserve better. Maybe a show?
@@anarchyknight6990 It's going to be a Disney+ show! Rick is writing it!
@@anarchyknight6990 yeah, like perhaps by Disney 😉
Agreed. The Percy Jackson movies were such a let down.
I hadn't read the books yet so I loved the movie now I can't look at it the same 😅
I found it funny when she gets smacked around twice in two scenes so close together and THEN gets strangled right after. He was able to smack her and then kiss her SO easily. 😆
This has nothing to do with this awesome video, but I just wanna say- I FINALLY READ AN ENCHANTMENT OF RAVENS!!! 😫 I finished it in less than 2 days (and this is coming from a full-time uni student). It was so magical, and amazing, I am so glad I FINALLY listened to all of your recs over the past few months and read it...it's become one of my favorites! The plot was beautiful and the romance was...mwuah chef's kiss!! ❤ Thank you for recommending it, Cari!! I'll forever be grateful to you for introducing me to this breathtaking novel!! 😍🤍
SCREAMS YESSSSSSS
I actually low-key like the host. In that guilty pleasure not great but i read it at a young age way. I think mostly it was just meant to be a set up for the rest of the trilogy that she never wrote because its easier for her to milk twilight for all its worth
Omg this was definitely not expected. U were right lol. I read The Host like 6 years ago. It was definitely something 😬
Indeed 😂😂😂
kyle 100% auditioned for jared and ian and was cast as a side character instead
A waste 🥵
I literally gasped at your cream sweater. It's gorgeous, you have the best knit collection haha, it inspires me to create them for myself!
WHAT TO SAY dear god what to say. i read this right away after twilight like literally maybe two years tops after it came out (and obvs every sketchy thing just flew over my head i think i was like 12?) the thing about stephanie is that she just comes out with CONCEPTS that have this odd sort of allure (like i still think the twilight vampires are fascinating) but the execution is like. ma'am :| now im just sitting here thinking this could've been an amazing book in better hands and with other perspectives (like the whole host thing i think you come out thinking that what they're doing is wrong ofc-although somewhat wrong /because/ they're doing it to humans-but not that the souls are necessarily. wrong themselves? like the mass suicide thing has horrendous implications and wanda just. breezes past it. like, my worm??? a little moment of silence???) i really loved it for the relationship between melanie and wanda tbh i think that's rlly the whole core of the book the film was disappointing in that regard (particularly considering saoirse can Deliver)
i was waiting for your reaction to the final wanda jdsjjfskjd IN THE CASTING DEPARTMENT'S DEFENSE this was A Cast most of the leads were like actors tipping on the edge of real fame which i think only saoirse really attained but like atm jake abel had done the lightning thief and max irons was like Thee pretty boy of that year on tumblr and well everyone knows emily browning, who i think was stephanie's first pick for bella lol (i was personally IN LOVE bc this was one of the first films where i like Knew everyone in the cast but the reception was mixed)
The scene with the car (15:38 in the video) always gets me bc she just hits the brakes and the whole car does like a triple flip and after that the car looks like it's been crushed in the biggest car wreck, but there was nothing on the street to trigger a car crash to begin with!! 😄
right?!!!!
She jerked the wheel hard to the left (at speed). If you don’t think that can flip or roll a car, I challenge you to try it.
50+ mph, yank the wheel as hard and fast to the left or right as you can. Report back here how it went.
I read the Host and i really loved it!!! Now, several years later i am thinking oficial re reading it... However i AM afraid that ruins the good memoried i have
:'')
Nostalgia. This vid brought me back girl hahah
We grew up in a wild literary time 🥲
I loved this book as a child, then I reread it a couple years ago and realized I definitely forgot a lot about it - including the age gap. But I still love the book as long as I wipe key moments away from my brain lol. I didn’t remember anything about the previous worlds except Wanda once being a sea plant once I think.
Lol ‘At least I’m hydrated now’ - so bad that there’s only hydration to be grateful for lol, love you Cari!!💖💖💖
I had a very different view of the colonization that occurred in the book. Colonization is a completely natural things organisms do in order to increase their species odds of survival. Conceptually the more spread out that you are, the less chance there is for you all to die out. Humans, unlike other animals, have the empathy necessary to know that colonization is wrong (which obviously doesn't always stop them from doing it).
From what I understand in the book, while Wanda was in control of these other species, she was still incapable of feeling empathy. It was not until humans that she had the range of emotions we have that allowed her to realize her species was literally murdering hundreds of millions of other species.
The way I think about it is imagine being a dog, then a spider, then a shark, etc. As those animals, you would not have a problem killing off other species in order to colonize. However if all of a sudden you were put into a human, you would gain the understanding that what you are doing is kind of messed up
omg Cari, this was top tier comedy! I couldn't stop laughing, you were on fire :D
:''')
This is the content I come here for. THIS 👌🏻
😂😂 I’m so glad
I read it once, but didn't finished, then a year or more later I borrowed it again from the library and read through the whole novel, and surprisingly I really enjoyed it, mainly the second half till the epilogue, aka start from the part when Uncle Jeb finds "them" till "it's a strange world..."
Later on, I managed to watch the movie as well and really enjoyed it too
Idk, I feel like the host is definitely much lesser known than Twilight, so for me it felt underated...cause I enjoyed it, and some of the topics and themes it explores are rather unusual/interesting
Love Wanda/Mel, sisters forever
We can love or hate the movie But The soundtrack is really Beautiful no One can deny that
I read it when I was in high school and 1 had a huge crush on Ian, maybe because he was my 2nd book boyfriend after Harry Potter. 😂😂😂😂
I hate in the middle when the lead wondering in a desert. I hated that part and about to stop reading at that point..
the funniest part is that emily browning in stephanie's head was like the perfect casting choice for bella swan (ig she kinned her or smth). she got to her in the end
right?????
you have such a homey vibe! wishing you all the best!
🥰🙏
personally I prefer to watch the movie and then read the book with things like this, because anything they cut out for timing in the film is like a bonus scene later when I'm reading
HELLO this is a video for ME i can't believe ppl are talking about this book now i cant watch the video right away bc im at the archive rn but i WILL comment later on bc this was MY scifi shit when i was a preteen i always loved the concept
HAHAHHAHA we’ll be waiting ❤️
“Because I’m at the archive” is SUCH a perfect comment on this channel!
The concept was great. Its seems to be the repeating theme with Meyer, a feeling of some people around her being not normal in a way, being too wholesome/perfect too be true. Elves when they play the negative (as in Riyria Revelations and An Enchantment of Ravens), Tom Marvolo Riddle, and Vampires in Twilight appear to be a repeating theme. A suggestion (as in a thought) that had come to me in more vague ways for some people in South-East Asia/West. This book has overly wholesome westerners as its focus. Notice how the scar/eyes are subtle, little bit hard to notice signs, they blend in the crowd perfectly well otherwise. I will never forget this book, for it put words to something I had seen/or experienced.
Worst Book to film adaptation was probably Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Tim Burton just ruined the story for that movie, just took the book and just made it completely different to the movie.
If you watched the movie solely you would probably think someone tried to rip off the book or tell the story from poor memory or something.
I am still mad about it all these years later 😄
When I watched the movie before the film (granted I was about 10) I rlly liked it. When I read the book I remember being really confused but still liking it better. I thought the movie was fine by itself it just didn't feel like an adaptation of the book
oh my god i was obsessed with the book when i was in middle school, aka eight years ago
Omg I have watched this movie soo many times! I forgot it existed for a while. Need to watch again hehe 😭
I loved The Host so much. Book and movie lol that I named my dog after the two guys in the film Jake and Max. I combined it to, Jax. So...yeah.. still love it😅❤
The book is more visceral, intense, graphic...
Wanderer remembers, through flashbacks, what it was like on different worlds.
The planet or system of origin is not mentioned in the book ( or film for that matter)
Wanderer is hunted down in the book by both humans and its own kind..
In the book, The seeker doesn't stop pursuing Wanderer ( In the film, it's captured and overcome ( sent back to its own planet)
The end of the film is completely different from the end of the book.
Wanderer is still being pursued at the end of the book, It tries to escape into the desert, but its new human host is dying from the heat...
The Fallen adaption was so bad that my friend screamed at the movies “oh my god, this movie is so boring”
It was awful 😂😂
the best thing this movie gave to me was this video: in which you reminded me to hydrate
Stephenie Meyer actually has another book called the chemist….. I don’t remember anything from it other then the dog’s name is sparky. And I think it was super boring.
WHAT?! I need to look this up!
@@caricanread Oh I would love to see you read that one😂 It's her take on the Bourne movies, and it had some interesting potential but suffered from epically boring romance.
OMG I completly forgot about this book. And I only remember main character being in a cabin with a guy, maybe an assassin??? idk
When I was younger I watched this movie so many times and now I can even think about it. It's just sooo bad 🤣🤣 but this was such a funny video
I have already binged your main channel now it's time for cari can read💜 loved everything latest so far!!
i remember liking if not loving this book when i was 13. uff didnt remember all of this 🥴🥴🥴. and the film i did remember that it was a nono. still have that book and wanted to reread it but now i wont hahahah thanks cari♡♡♡
Yeah i would spend your time on other books hahahha
oh man I forgot about my host phase
🙃🙃🙃
I loved the book and I used to read it all the time back in the early days of high school... I didn't quite get the colonisation message back then and I just loved the *boring* scenes of Mel/Wanda cooking and cleaning and providing and telling stories, especially cause one of the stories was when she was some sort of bug? and like the best bugs would give birth to millions but it killed the mother and apparently everyone was like slay you would be a great mum but Wanda never did it and that's why 'I finally found a reason to die for' was suppose to hit hard?
Also I remember at one point Wanda is looking at a park and sees two Hosted parents and a normal human kid and was like awwww,,,, they love the child even tho its not there's... and now looking back on it its a MAJOR side eye moment
#PlusMe ! Why, oh why, do publishers think slaping the movie poster on the book cover might attract more readers. It's such a cheap, short-lived trick! And mundane and tasteless. What we want is gorgeous special editions, celebratory master pieces!
It's funny because I LOVED this movie when I watched it for the first time as a teenager but now watching as an adult it's like wow this was SO bad! Still love Saoirse though lol
Saoirse almost saved it hahahha
I totally forgot if I liked this book too. I think I don’t like it the more I am reminded about it. I do want to binge watch twilight now. Lol
😂😂😂
Also need you to read The Hating Game since you read The Love Hypothesis, which was the best romcom book.
I'm sorry but I loved this movie and this book back in the day. The movie was not amazing by any means but i loved it anyways. Im so sad you hated it so much. I was obsessed. And Saoirse Ronan and Max Irons (Jeremy Irons son!!!!) *screams internally*. Ugh. Im sad now.
I think Insurgent and Allegiant from the Divergent series were my least favorite book to movie adaptations. They did not do those books justice.
I didn’t even knew it was based on a book . I watched the movie almost 5-7 times . I am so dumb. God
Honestly, I'd love to watch movies with you, your reactions are so entertaining lmao
It’s been a long time since I laughter this bad at reaction’s! I really didn’t remember that much of this story, but damm I’m so happy now… thank you for that!
thanks for being there with me hahhaa
Loved your reaction to the book and movie. Was not a pointless video at all. Enjoyed it alot!
Tbh IMO Stephanie Meyer is SUCH a problematic writer 😂 I was OBSESSED with her work when I was really young, and when I grew up and re-read her stuff I was so upset lol. Her obsession with ‘virtue’, strange age differences, love triangles, her take on race etc… just not very healthy imo
I was actually obsessed with this movie and jake😅
I liked the movie...granted I am in ninth grade so that pretty much explains it lol. Love your channel! Happy reading! 📚❤️
Unpopular opinion Stephanie Myers books are too long
Beautiful creatures is the WORST book to film adaptation ever... I am still so freakin mad about it. When I had watched that film I was almost screaming because I was so mad about it. 😅 The books are really good but the film is worthless.
God it was horrific 🙄😂
That’s so funny to me cause it’s actually one of me favorite books
Giiiirl today is my birthday and let me tell you I’m reaching the third floor if you get what I mean and having a brand new video from you makes perfect for a cozy afternoon here in MC! Lol hope you well and can’t wait for the Saturday video 😉
Happy birthday!!
@@caricanread thank you!!
This was my favourite book when I was 14/15. I probably read it like 5 times but hearing you talk about it and reminding me of the things like the age difference and the colonization makes me feel very weird a bout liking it lol
I read the book in high school and was a little confused the whole time and when I saw the movie I was like… “oh..”. But it was good? Anyways I loved seeing your reaction to it too 😂❤️
That intro🤣🤣🤣I'm rolling
I loveeee your channel. Even though the movie is bad -really really bad- and you didn't like the book, this video was great. Can't wait to see more videos from you
I read the host when I was 14 and I loved but I remembered that the first 100 pages are so boring
I really want re-read to remember the storie
Hi! I recently re-read a series I read when I was young, The Relentless series by Karen Lynch. I thought you would really like it. It has lines that made me laugh out loud and the banter is also amazing. It's action packed and really fast paced (also,the romance is really sweet❤️❤️❤️). I think it's a YA paranormal fantasy. It's full of twists. I loved it.Hope you try it (It's a completed trilogy). Happy Reading!!!😄😃
I’ve only seen this movie once the year it was released and I’ve never read the book. I mostly watched the movie because I really liked the soundtrack. Plus the host came out before twilight but it was supposed to be a series but that obviously never happened.
That was one fun video Girl ….. more of this plz 🤗😜😊
“Volvos don’t do that” 😂😂😭
i thought they were safe cars!! hahahah
Was the guy with cancer in the movie?
Ah the nice guy who Wanda helped soothe? Nope! Most of the side characters had zero time in the movie 🙃
@@caricanread That was a huge part of the romance and her character development! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Did they write Radioactive for this movie? What a cultural impact if so lol. I remember really liking this book when I read it in high school, but yea, the movie was completely forgettable. Also forgot it was Saoirse! Way to bounce back, girl.
im pretty sure it was already a hit song but wouldnt that be wild ahhaha
How can you not love Jake Abel? Lol
Lmao I literally had to google who he was just now hahhahaha
@@caricanread that makes my heart sad 🥲
Adam Winchester ❤
I'm so bummed that Saoirse Ronan was even in here she hardly had any duds in her filmography. She absolutely nailed Little women 🙂
I loved this book as a teenager, just as much as Twilight. Your making me want to do a reread so see if my opinions have changed. I really enjoyed the movie but I do think they could have done better with showing the audience the connection and love that grew between Wanda and Melanie, like you mentioned and there were a few other things they missed out from the book which I didn't like but overall loved the movie and still do. I now find the twilight movies cheesy as an adult compared to when I was a teenager but still love them haha.
Also I'm thankful for this movie as it introduced me to one of my favourite bands, Imagine Dragons 😍 love their song radioactive.
Truly the worst adaptation is Vampire Academy. Do I still watch it as a guilty pleasure? Yes I do.
I didn't think the movie was necessarily bad but it wasn't the greatest either. I can't remember what happens in the book either but I really wished she had released a second in this series instead of Midnight Sun. The Twilight movies will always be better.
freezing nothern europe bug here wondering where your cozy cozy looking jacket is from 💙
Uniqlo from a few years ago!
@@caricanread perfect second hand conditions, thank you!
Max Irons is the hottest human 😍😍
Why do people adapts Stephanie Meyer's books?
I used to absolutely love the movie (I mean I also never read the book) but I will not rewatch it to save my memory. And at the time I also did not realise anything about colonialism (yes, I was also a middle schooler).
Honestly my favourite part of the movie was the credits. I liked what they did with the galaxies and all. Otherwise horrible movie.
A movie that always makes my heart bleed is the adaptation of ink heart by Cornelia Funke. The books were great, the movie was just a train wreak that had only vague similarities with the original first book. Thankfully they stopped after one movie.
bahaha agreed and omg i would NEVER watch a movie version of a funke novel - they made one of thief lord and i stayed so far away hahahhaa
The film is more of a Sci Fi romance
The book is more of a thriller, Sci Fi, Action thing..
My Twilight phase was me refusing to touch anything related to Twilight which meant no Stephenie Meyers books lol
However the most recent worst movie adaptation I've seen has to The Sun is Also a Star. The book was wonderful and incorporated so much of the character's surroundings and that's what made the book great (imo) and the movie just didn't do that so it fell very flat.
i only saw the movie instead of the reading the book and yeah it was a lil cringe hahaha
I really disagree. I actually really liked this movie and the concept. I liked the acting as well. I think the screenplay maybe is more digestible to me than the book because I do prefer the movie and its pace. I do wish we saw much more of the relationship with wanda and melanie (and jared cuz he's my favorite) more but everything else I like better. I think the movie however is supposed to be metaphors of free- will, control, and actual celestial colonization than it is about this world's history of colonization.
I remember waiting forever for the sequel to this book after reading it like junior high. Back then I quite liked the book but at the age of 27 I feel like now I'd feel very differently.
I don't know why but I was so into Ian when reading the book for the first time cause then I didn't see the romance coming and when it happened I was just amazed.
But yeah, the book has so many yucky things going on, with the weird fixation to the ages and colonialism that's super yikes. I like the idea of parasites and hosts but somehow the way it was done just wasn't it.
I liked this book but I was also like in middle grade when I read it, but then I’d rather forget that fact. I can remember they made soap out of 🌵or something? And I don’t know why but I thought she got the body of a CHILD at the end which is like… another level of creepy
Jared… that’s sa… Of a minor.
Right?! And why a kiss? Couldnt a hug suffice or something? Why must you kiss the first human you’ve seen??
let's talk about how there was susposed to be a book 2 and it....never happened?
Ahh the kissing book/ movie.
Also I think you pulled out the concept of colonization from the book, which is understandable. However, the author is Mormon. I see alot of influence from that in the book if you know anything about Mormon beliefs: I used to live in Utah: lotta Mormon friends.
I’d love for you to explain! Mormonism and their missions is absolute colonizer behavior - I’m also from an area with a large Mormon population.
@@caricanread Definitely, their approach to evangelism has those behaviors, I just think their theology around souls and what they believe about souls inhabiting bodies, their concept of the afterlife, popped out at me stronger.
Twilight managed to enter parody territory… this is a disaster.
🥴
this is so bad i cant believe you made it entertaining
🥲🥲🥲
My worst adaptations are Eragon and Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga’hoole. Ga’hoole’s more of a personal grudge it isn’t that bad, but my little child heart was really upset by it.
I don’t typically watch adaptations now days, or if I do I approach it as its own thing, which saves me from so much disappointment.
The only good thing of Guardians was the level of CGI of the owls. I was obsessed with how gorgeous the snow owls were.
I don’t even remember the plot of the book or movie.
@@krispy777 ikr? It was doubly disappointing to me since I'm from Australia and the landscape and setting of the film was based on it (which was also frustrating since the books aren't set in Australia? And most owl species don't even live here either?).
Eragon was such a guilty pleasure for me because I thought the boy was cute lol
@@Theblondebass1 Not judging.
@@reminiscentoss681 cracks me up as an adult because I saw the movie poster recently and was amazed that he looked like a baby lol growing up makes you reflect very different on past book or movie tastes
Twilight came out in 05. The host came out in 08. She had started the host as another series to write along side twilight. But. But people suck. Two things happened, one twilight took off so much so that she was pressured into finishing that series and to drop the host series. Two that the last book in the twilight series was licked. She didn’t even want to publish it the book. And released the what if book instead. And has no intention of ever finishing host series. I think it would have been better than twilight. Which I hated twilight. It was so bad. Right up there with divergent series as horrible.
