That's ignoring of course the effect of a film maker working with someone adapting the script and obviously the input made in casting/filimg.editing.
book report compared to storyboarding your own film's plot arc
at the point of adaptation you blur the lines between the structure of the original narrative and what the adaptation takes credit for
you deny your audience the certainty in knowing that what took place in the film was the conscious effort of the filmaker and not simply featured because of the source material
would Park Chan Wook have added the incest twist in Oldboy? You'll never know if that's his style, because it's part of the source material
Meanwhile Sympathy For Mr Vengeance gives you a full-blown testament to his decisions as a storyteller. Every last one. What you learn about the narrator from their own design compared to an adaptation is not not even close
