Death by Adaptation Podcast - Episode 02: American Psycho & Silence
Death by Adaptation PodcastDeath By Adaptation is Clapper’s monthly book club, where a group of cinephiles and bibliophiles meets up to discuss new and classic books and their cinematic adaptations, focusing on historical relevance, fun pieces of trivia, and how distinctly different the written and visual art forms are.
In this episode, we discussed the disturbing murderous activities of Patrick Bateman in Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho, and how Mary Harron and Guinevere Turner adapted it in 2000. Next, we focused on Martin Scorsese’s Silence and the book from Shusaku Endo, talking about the Catholic faith, the atrocities that Japanese Christians suffered under the Shogunate, and whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would play a convincing Jesus.
