It's a question that pops up in my mind on and off sometimes when I rewatch, but not super important. I was just curious as to what other people thought of it
Speak for yourself
Probably several lifetime TV movies and old period pieces
"The fool says in his heart, 'there is no God.' They are corrupt." Psalm 14:1
What I meant was that Nabokov's screenplay was almost entirely cut but he wrote the screenplay to be quite different from his own original source material, which I find strange.
Yeah, I think it's implied that she's around 14 in the film. I think Lolita is supposed to actually be skinny and pretty much the average body shape for her age. At least that's the way she's portrayed in other films. This version takes a lot of liberties due to the time it was made
I read that Kubrick largely didn't film most of what the author wrote but he is of course still credited. The weird thing is that his screenplay supposedly differed greatly from the novel, which makes one wonder how and why
Just because I haven't read it doesn't mean I've never researched or don't know anything. Case in point, Lolita is not meant to be painted as a villain by the author but rather in Humbert's point of view, he incorrectly views her that way
Yeah she didn't even pursue Billy when she thought she was pregnant. But she did flirt a lot
I haven't read the book, so if we're only talking about the movie version, then maybe I can see that. But that's definitely not the case in the book
Doesn't menopause usually start late 40s?
