Illinois Central College “Between the Lines” Program Discusses Book versus Film Adaptations
Join Illinois Central College’s “Between the Lines” program
to discuss “I Loved the Book, but I Hated the Movie! I Loved the Movie, but
Hated the Book!: How to Enjoy Adaptations More,” on
Tues., Nov. 6 from 7 to 8 pm in the Peoria Arbor Auditorium on the Peoria
Campus. Megan Ames will offer a presentation and lead the discussion.
Has this frustrating situation
with adaptations ever happened to you? Chances are, it has. Telling the same
story in two very different mediums – film and literature – is always a tricky
endeavor, and sometimes the results are so different from what we expect that
it can be difficult to appreciate both. Yet, by understanding our experiences
as the audience in more depth, we can learn to enjoy both mediums much more.
Please join us for a lively discussion of the challenges of adaptation and of
some of the film/book adaptations that tend to cause disagreements even among
the best of friends, all while gathering the skills necessary to really enjoy
that next adaptation.
“Between the Lines” is a lecture series presented by the
faculty members of the English, Humanities and Language Studies Department at
ICC. The goal of the series is to offer literary presentations that will
interest students and people in the community, as well as promote reading
literacy and scholarly study.
The programs are free and open to the public.
