The movie A Streetcar Named Desire made my head ache again last night. We watched it during our Scriptwriting class. I looked it up in the Internet, in the hopes of making myself comprehend it fully. According to the site, the movie was "...a subversive, steamy film classic that was adapted from Tennessee Williams' 1947 Pulitzer Prize-winning play (his first) of the same name". That's it. Click on the link to learn more about it (there's a short synopsis there as well).
The book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is going to be adapted to film which would be released in 2008. I was surprised when I learned that the story was based on Sebold's own experience when she was in her freshman year in college.
