I'm sure you agree that artists take... artistic license when needed. But, that

point aside, a cold-blooded recitation of events hardly bears comparison to a film, does it? Or are the many creative artists involved in a film, from the director on down (or sideways), just reporters (that always have biases, too...)?
Read "Lolita" (if you can...) and see Kubrick's version. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
But each praised as a classic.
