Week 7: Reflection on Field Trip

Last week my field trip was to the library and back home. I checked out a DVD of Lolita and watched it on my computer. Vladimir Nobokov’s celebrated 1955 English novel about a middle-aged man’s tumultuous and obsessive sexual relationship with a 12-year-old girl was turned into a successful film by Stanley Kubrick in 1962. A later 1997 version was directed by Adrian Lyne. Watching the movie (1962) made me wonder about its incredible popularity. To me, it seemed like just an average movie. Possibly the popularity of the movie is just a reflection of the popularity of the book.
