a movie version of I'm?, 4 June 2006
9/10
Author: missbirdie05 from United States

do you think there will be a movie version of Invisible Man? when i first read the book, i totally saw it as a movie playing out the narration of the unnamed black man. the protagonist in the movie Rebecca had no name, thanks to the direction of Sir Alfred Hitchcock. If they did a movie with an unnamed hero like Rebecca, why not Invisible Man? they can come up with creative ways to keep the narrator from being named, right? Like in the documentary, have the guy narrate the voice-over and the same guy acting out the events that the narrator points out. let me say this, i personally love this book because the details captured my mind.
