Bright Young Things is a 2003 British drama film written and directed by Stephen Fry. The screenplay was based on the 1930 novel Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh, which was in turn loosely based on and satirizing the aristocratic and bohemian society members known as the "bright young people".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The film follows aspiring author Adam Fenwick-Symes and his fiancee Nina Blount. His novel Bright Young Things is withheld at customs for being too racy, and he finds himself in a precarious financial situation and fearing he will be unable to marry. Meanwhile, he and Nina live life as part of a young and decadent crowd who indulge in partying, alcohol, cocaine and gossip. However, things are not as carefree as they may seem at first.The film's heavyweight cast includes James McAvoy, Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Dan Aykroyd, Peter O'Toole, Imelda Staunton, and Richard E. Grant. Fry and Mark Gatiss appear in cameos. | |

Black Comedy: Less so than the book, but the film does still have this air. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Bright Young Things / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: While perhaps not the most pleasant of people, Margot Maitland is a much better person than her book counterpart, since there's no mention of her engaging in human trafficking. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| Bright Young Things / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: The Drunk Major. Also possibly Miles given the fact that he's a Camp Gay man who flees to France just at the onset of the Second World War. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Bright Young Things / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Two prominent examples: Simon writes a defamatory and libelous article concerning most of his friends before committing suicide as retribution for them being unable or unwilling to get him into a party. Somewhat subverted in that it doesn't seem to cause any of them too much grief.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Bright Young Things / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Several, but especially the Drunk Major and Agatha, both of whom are rarely seen sober or without a drink readily on hand. | |
