OverviewParing a novel into a two-hour film is an arduous task for even the best screenwriters and directors.

Kubricks film adaptations of three novels--Lolita, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket--are analyzed in this work. The primary focus is on the alterations in the characters and narrative structure, with additional attention to style, scope, pace, mood and meaning.
