Well, I've seen the movie and haven't seen the play. I thought the movie
was pretty good. The "Catcher" part in the movie comes from Will Smith's
character -- he's a poor, young black man posing as a Harvard graduate
describing a thesis he heard about Catcher. If I remember right, the
thesis tried to explain what Chapman (I think) possible got out of
Catcher by way of incentive to kill John Lennon. It's interesting, etc,
etc, like any good thesis.
