There are a few differences but nothing particularly major and the feeling of childhood friendship comes through so strong, I fell in love with the characters all over again. I absolutely love everything about it and reading “The Body” has made me love it even more.
Not just of King adaptations but just films in general.
“Stand By Me” is one of my all time favourite films. Nothing about any of the characters stood out and the story was just a bit “meh”. The first three, for me, are all big hitters I love the characters, I love the story and I love the themes behind them but “The Breathing Method” just didn’t really grab me the same way. I loved this collection, apart from “The Breathing Method”. This is also a case where I’ve seen the films, “Shawshank Redemption” and “Stand By Me” before reading the stories they are based on. I’ve had this for a while and I remember reading Shawshank but for some reason I didn’t read any of the others, which is very unusual for me. “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” is “Hope Springs Eternal”, “Apt Pupil” is “Summer of Corruption”, “The Body” is “Fall from Innocence” and finally “The Breathing Method” is “A Winter’s Tale”. The Breathing Method - a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what.“Different Seasons” is a collection of four short stories designed to represent the four seasons. The Body - four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption - the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo.Īpt Pupil - a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism.

The collection is notable for having had three of its four novellas turned into Hollywood films. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles that relate to each of the four seasons.
Different Seasons is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more serious dramatic bent than the horror fiction for which King is famous.
