This week, we'll be watching the movie Adaptation, based on the non-fiction book The Orchid Thief. Be sure to read the first 54 pages of the book (up through and including the chapter "Orchid Fever") and be ready to discuss what you've read this week. We'll also talk about the film.
Talking points:
1) How do you like the book so far? Why?
2) As you were reading the book, did it seem like it would be hard or easy to adapt as a film?
3) What does the film have to say about the adaptation process?
4) Do you like the film? Why?
5) Does the film do justice to the book?
