I’ve met people who didn’t know Atonement and The Kite Runner were based on books, and forget it if the movie was based on a graphic novel - no one seems to have that on their radar. So, I’d always be alert during the film’s opening credits to catch this information, then, if I enjoyed the movie, I’d read the book.Ĭovering entertainment news every day, I often write about books being adapted for film, so I’ve been running under the assumption that the average person also knows this information. But this was pre-Internet days, so this information wasn’t too easy to come by, especially not to a kid. At that time, I kind of understood that there were these people called “screenwriters” who wrote movies, but this was the first time I made the connection that sometimes, movies were adapted from books.įrom then on, if I found out a movie was based on a book, I’d run down to the library and borrow a copy of the book. In the film’s credits, I learned that the movie was based on the novel of the same name by John Irving. When I was 12, I went down to my local video store and rented the VHS tape of The Hotel New Hampshire.
