BASED ON THE BOOK: BESTSELLER CINEMA! by BILL WINE

MEET BILL WINE - KYW Movie Critic

We know in our hearts that books and movies are so different that we really shouldn't compare them. And yet, we just can't help it.

In this presentation Bill Wine will discuss the psychological differences between the reading and viewing experience. He will also analyze the way classic and modern novels have been translated into films. A collection of indelible written works that have provided the source material for storied, memorable movies will be discussed, including The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, Schindler's List, Bridget Jones' Diary, The Graduate, A Clockwork Orange, The Silence of the Lambs, Sophie's Choice, The Maltese Falcon and more. 

Don't worry; he'll also deal with the insufferable bombs!
