{"product_id":"stanley-kubrick-and-the-art-greg-jenkins-9780786430970","title":"Stanley Kubrick and the Art of Adaptation: Three Novels, Three Films","description":"\u003cp\u003e Paring a novel into a two-hour film is an arduous task for even the best screenwriters and directors. Often the resulting movies are far removed from the novel, sometimes to the point of being unrecognizable. Stanley Kubrick's adaptations have consistently been among the best Hollywood has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Kubrick's film adaptations of three novels--\u003ci\u003eLolita, The Shining\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFull Metal Jacket\u003c\/i\u003e--are analyzed in this work. The primary focus is on the alterations in the characters and narrative structure, with additional attention to style, scope, pace, mood and meaning. Kubrick's adaptations simplify, impose a new visuality, reduce violence, and render the moral slant more conventional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Jenkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786430974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786430970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.16w x 0.43d","brand":"Greg Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926035202303,"sku":"9780786430970","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_330cff79-c7ae-44ee-a651-ef3bc4bab173.jpg?v=1681080820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stanley-kubrick-and-the-art-greg-jenkins-9780786430970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
