Salinger, which until now, no movie adaptation has ever been made. Well, maybe because the novel is a little bit 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 (𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑙𝑜𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠), and 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 , written through the lens of a 16-year old Holden Caulfield who is suffering from alienation and social anxiety - 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬i𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝.

As the novel progresses, I can see Holden's black and white view of the world gets challenged both by his own mistakes and by his interactions with other people.
