Novels first, movies later

I've read this novel long ago, it's an English novel.
Later, it was made into a movie and translated into Chinese, but the name was changed.
The first time I watched it was when I was in college. One night, I rented a few movies with my friends and went back to the dormitory. I thought it was a third-level movie, and I started watching it with relish. After watching it for a long time, there was no plot, so I just watched it. I waited and waited until finally, I found out that it was actually an educational film about incest.
I was so pissed that I remembered it was a controversial novel I had read before.

The film is not bad, but compared to the novel, it is slightly worse.

Lolita quotes

  • Humbert: From here to that old car you know so well is a stretch of twenty-five paces. Make those twenty-five steps. With me. Now.

    Lolita: You're saying you'll give us the money if I go to a motel with you?

    Humbert: No, no, no. I mean leave here now, and come live with me. And die with me, and everything with me.

    Lolita: You're crazy.

  • Humbert: What are you eating?

    Lolita: It's called a jawbreaker. It's supposed to break your jaw. Want one?
