How does a novel change when it is adapted for the screen? What are the merits of each medium? Visible Voice Books invites you to the next meeting of our new Movie vs. Book Club, where we’ll discuss these very questions.
Join your host, Isaac, in discussing Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton and its 1983 film adaptation directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Rusty-James is the toughest guy among the kids who hang out and shoot pool at Benny's. He's proud of his reputation, but what he wants most of all is to be just like his older brother, the Motorcycle Boy. Whenever Rusty-James gets in over his head, the Motorcycle Boy has always been there to bail him out. Then one day Rusty-James' world comes apart, and the Motorcycle boy isn't around to pick up the pieces.
We encourage you to purchase the novel from us and watch the movie before the meeting.
This is a free event; all are welcome.
