So Matt rented the movie Never Let Me Go. It was interesting to see how they turned the book into a movie. I'm typically disappointed, but I will say that I think they did a pretty decent job with the movie. There were a few things left out, but they stuck pretty true to the story line. Matt hadn't read the book, though. And he kept looking at me with a crazy facial expression. He had a ton of questions, like:
"What the heck?!?!"
"Why on earth......"
"How did you get through this book? What a crazy concept!"
"That's IT?!? Where's the rest of the story? Why didn't they try to get away?"
I have to agree that his confusion is warranted. It is a bizarre concept. But I think that really took some creativity and insight on the author's part to create such a story that evokes anger/sadness/passion in readers. Maybe we'll try some more movie versions of books we have read.
