High Fidelity -last blog

I wasn't able to finish High Fidelity the movie because i was out sick, but from what I did notice was that Rob seemed more successful in the movie than in the book. The image the movie gave was the record store full of people buying albums, even younger teens who tried to steal some of the records. But in the book, Vinyl Records seems like a small, trashy, and rarely visited record shop. No one ever really comes, especially not younger teens. Also, I thought Laura and Charlie got along better than in the book. I felt like their relationship moved faster in the movie than in the book. In the book, it seemed to take forever for Laura to even be on better terms with him, but in the movie they went out and were on speaking terms in a shorter amount of time. Rob's relationships were his top-five listed women mostly matched up personality wise to the book. I'm not sure if the movie shows Jackie, but I didn't get to that part if they did. the image of Marie La Salle surprised me. I didn't really get the vibe that she was black in the book, because when Rob said she looked like some version of Doris Dey or whatever that name was, I imagined someone white. Rob also didn't try and figure out if she liked him by doing his weird couch thing by sitting first and seeing if she sat next to him, or slowing down his walking pace to see if she would slow down with him. Even the scene before they had sex wasn't as awkward as it was made to seem in the book.
