He accepts and a few minutes later the girl, Sunny, arrives. At the hotel an elevator-boy called Maurice offers him the services of a prostitute in his room. During this search he spends a great deal of money and loses his illusions. He is desperately searching for someone he can really talk to. He spends his time in New York drinking and walking through the city and has no idea of what to do.
He takes the train to New York, where his parents live, but decides not to go to his parents straight away but to stay in a hotel until the beginning of the Christmas holiday. Holden decides not to wait until the end of the trimester but to leave Pencey straight away. Stradlater is dating a girl with whom Holden was in love the previous summer. When Holden goes back to his room, he starts a fight with his roommate Stradlater. It is just before Christmas, and Holden decides to say goodbye to his favourite teacher Mister Spencer, who tries to justify the note he gave to Holden, by summing up Holden’s faults. Before the end of the first trimester, Holden is suspended from the school for the third time, because of his indifferent attitude and bad grades. Holden studies at Pencey, a boarding school in Pennsylvania. The Catcher in the Rye is about a sixteen year old boy named Holden Caulfield. The story also describes what the character does in New York, and is also therefore a picaresque (adventure) story. It contains social elements, in which it talks about the critical attitude of adults towards the younger generation. The modern social novel is all about a character, in this case Holden. The book belongs to the genre of the modern social novel. The Twentieth century – second part (1945 to the present). Even today, the book still is popular, although some still find it controversial. Young people felt that Salinger put his finger on what was important in the struggle between the individual and established society. The Catcher in the Rye made him extremely popular, particularly among high school and college students. His books belong to the ‘minority novel’ written by Jewish and Negro writers in America. He is one of the most famous Jewish-American novelists after World War Two. He also wrote some short stories, the most famous one is Franny and Zooey. Nothing less and nothing more.The Catcher in the Rye is his only novel. Such is never the case when watching these 75 minutes and 6 seconds of pure blue screen. When movies are conventionally shown to us, more often than not, our imaginations are limited. He is not only "imaginative" as in "creative," but also "imaginative" as in "emphasizing upon the importance of imagination." "The Catcher in the Rye," as well as Tomm's other films, roars a statement against everything that anyone has ever known about movies. As a filmmaker and a director, Nigel Tomm is imaginative in more manners than one. With this film, Tomm shatters boundaries and limitations, all the while unlocking the key to your imagination.as long as you are willing to watch pure blue screen upon your journey. I myself do not enjoy Salinger's eminent novel, but I do still understand that so many have pondered (regardless of opinion) about what could have been, had the author allowed so. Within 75 minutes and 6 seconds, he or she is given the opportunity to envision the otherwise impossible. What the absurdist artist Nigel Tomm has presented is an adaptation that is entirely of the viewer's own. Several people on and off of this website have deemed this film as a "fake film" or a "false adaptation." As absurd as the concept inarguably is, I find "The Catcher in the Rye" to be a "real film" in the most true cinematic form.
