Transcript:
The Godfather leads us to The Outsiders which was also done by Francis Ford Coppola and that’s because — this is probably, along with In Cold Blood, one of the most faithful adaptions of a novel ever into a film and that’s because — I love this too, because it’s the power of the audience — a group of fourth graders who loved The Godfather — I don’t know how they quite saw it – but they understood that Francis Ford Coppola was a very important director — they sent him a copy of The Outsiders with a not asking him to direct the movie version and he was like, “Well, I’ve never heard of this book. I suppose I’ll read it.” He read it. HR thought, “Wow this is pretty good. I can do that” and he made sure, because of what the children had written him– he made sure to be as faithful to that book as he could. If you watch that movie with the novel in your hand, nothing happens that doesn’t happen in the novel and he uses almost everything in the novel. There’s nothing that gets left behind. Now it’s a small — it’s a slim little novel, but it’s an amazing piece of adaptation. It is a perfect copy of that novel and it’s funny because people dismiss it because it’s a teen book — a pre-teen book at this stage — but it’s really, really and excellent example of how to do an adaptation properly. So audiences for this are hugely popular.

Naturally, the behemoth in adaptation – Harry Potter (which depended on the relationship created by adapter Steve Kloves and author J.K.

Quotes from “Why The Monkees Matter” by Dr. Rosanne Welch – 39 in a series – No Love For Mike
** Buy “Why The Monkees Matter” Today **
It is interesting to note that the writers never created an episode around a love interest for Mike’s character, possibly because the audience knew from reading popular magazines that Nesmith was the only married actor in The Monkees. It was standard practice in this era not to make married actors into ladies men when possible. Producers felt the audience did not want to feel guilty when watching their favorite stars.

Feminist ideology could not be any more prominent than the opening line of “I Was a 99 lb. Weakling” when Micky tells his current girlfriend Brenda,
“You know, physical beauty isn’t enough. I guess that’s why I fell in love with you, Brenda. I wanted a girl with some intelligence.”

Transcript:
He falls in love with Lucy and they have this whole relationship and there’s a whole little discussion about how big penises are and whether or not their useful and what’s wrong with her and there’s an operation and it’s very — it’s very sexual. It’s not something that’s ever going to make it in the movie, right, for 2 reasons. The sexual content and it’s a minor character compared to the family — the Corleones — so we have to get rid of somebody. Right? So we lose Lucy. She’s a really interesting story thought. I remember being really, really into that. Of course, I didn’t quote understand they were telling me when I was ten, but of well.
