Apt Pupil

[Spaceman Spiff]

Saw this movie a couple months for the first time, and enjoyed it very much.

(Tragic about what happened to the actor who played the lead role). (Brad Renfro).

Thanks,

I'm going to have to read this one again. I haven't read it since high school, which seems like eons ago.

Saw this movie Saturday, Oct. 10 and thought it was exceptional. The acting and the story were much better than expected. Since I have not read this yet, I was surprised about the subject matter, though it was perfectly logical.

I just read about him online, what a terrible tragedy!

I just found out it is a movie too - will have to check it out sometime.
I read the story when I was a teenager. While I found it "interesting", it really wasn't my cup of tea.

The movie's ending did not follow the book either.

Absolutely loved the movie! I need to read the book. The book, as is the usual case, must be much better.

The book does a much better job of developing the story. The book ends quite a bit different from the movie.

The book develops the relationship between these two over many, many years. They develop an interdependency which is well done in the book. The movie, no movie, could do this justice unless it was much, much longer.

I didn't like the Nouvella and the movie is a pale version of the book. It's shown on TV every now and again in the USA. If you are in the USA, you can go to Fancast.com, register and set it as a favorite and fancast will send you an email when it is on in your area.

That's how I caught this morning on local Fox channel.

This story looks very interesting. I saw the trailer and it seems like a movie which will bring strong emotions to you.
