There are so many books being made into movies right now. The Hunger Games, Anna Karenina, Twilight, The Lorax, The Lucky One; these are all titles that have been adapted into films that were released last year. I like watching movies based on books to compare how closely the screenwriters stayed to the original book. (I take great pleasure in picking apart films that I thought strayed a little too far...)
Right now, the film based upon the classic novel Bless Me, Ultima is out in theaters. This book is a coming of age story about a young boy torn between the cultures of his mother and father. It is used in schools from middle school to colleges because it is such a powerful and meaningful work. So if you want to compare the book to the film, or even just read it for the first time, it would be well worth it.
The film was made by a production company that was formed specifically to make this movie. That's a lot of support for a single project. So if you've loved this book, interested in comparing the book to the movie, or even just curious, check out the film too. The reviews are mixed, so I'm curious to hear what people think.
