Ten Things I Hate About You - Where its from
Hi everyone,
Needing to ask a question and I’d love as many answers as possible.
How many of you know what play/author the movie ‘Ten Things I Hate About You’ was adapted from?
Basically I’m trying to establish that it doesn’t matter if people don’t know the original and that many people who have seen this film would never even consider reading the book it was adapted from.
So come on…we are friends… be honest…no Internet searches (In fact to help my case I’d prefer if people didn’t know).
Thanks, Kel xxx

PS - Is it just me or are these letter verifications getting harder to read?
Sorry I can't help your case Kel, but I do know where it's from. (But are you really surprise? - I seem to know some unusual literary facts at times).
I thought it actually said on the back of the DVD cover where it came from.
But if it helps, I haven't seen or read a version of the original and I loved 'Ten Things I Hate About You'.
Hi guys,
Greetings from San Francisco! Kel, I don't know exactly what the movie is based on... I thought it was something Shakespeare related?? That's as close as I can get...
Simon and I walked about 16kms to the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday and walked all the way across and back. San Francisco is SOOOO hilly, it's just incredible. Today we saw Lombard St, labelled as being the crookedest street in the world. They were right. Having a great time.
Good luck with your 10 Things question. I hope someone knows the answer!
It's Taming of the Shrew by good ol' Will Shakespeare.
Greast to hear from you AJ, look forward to reading more about your adventures.
Hi kel,
I didn't know where it came from when i read your post. When Aj mentioned shakespeare i thought 'that sounds familiar' then when rob mentioned which one i thought 'yeah, I read that somewhere once' but if it helps I had totally forgotten that I knew.
I just asked Dan and he knew the answer. Sorry! Also I doubt this helps at all but I've never actually seen 'Ten things I Hate About You' and I have seen the Shakespeare movie with Elizabeth Taylor as 'the Shrew'
I know, I know I'm sorry. It totally doesn't matter, When I watched it I had no idea what it was based on and I quite enjoyed it. I just happen to know now baecause of something I've read. But that doesn't matter, it's even pointless because this is an enjoyable movie and it doesn't need to be any more than that.
Silly me, can't help myself.
Audition tape went off well once I got it all together, they should have it by now so it's just a matter of waiting for that elusive phone call.
THANKS PEOPLES!!! ALL GREAT! WILL DEFINATLEY START A WHOLE NEW CONVERSATION! OF COURSE YOU ALL KNOW WHERE ITS FROM NOW!
and just so everyone knows...i knew it was from the famous man himself but i didn't know the actual name of the play. Dee - we can both me the small minority together and as you said in the creative world everything has stolen something from somewhere else these days....i actually has a 'heated discussion' with my tutor about it as he took it as an insult when i said as writers you steal ideas......
See everyone soon!
