In the beginning of the movie and in the reading it’s called the neighbors and what I found it changed sufficiently from the reading. The couple seems a little more put together than in the movie they seem so poor in the movie compared to their neighbors than in the short story. There more loving and the wife is little more carious in the short story than her husband seems in the movie. So why did the movie makers change it so much? I wondered to myself.

I think sometimes adaptation for literature and movie is just the way things are. Some times a writer realizes that as long as the point and the story is still told through the movie and audience gets it that’s all should matter. Yes I agree it shouldn’t matter fidelity for literure.

We want the writer to be loyal to the book or novel but sometimes that can be hard. It happens all the time we hear people speak about the book was better than the movie. But after writing a play script this week I can see how hard that could be.

Altman took this scene a build a well developed story around it where the driver Doreen who is a nurturing lady (not the male psycho in Carver’s story)stopped to make sure that Casey (aka Scottie) was okay. The kid unfortunately died in the end but that is unknown to Doreen. Directors are entitled to make changes they see too to a story. Adobe After Effects Key Light Download. Short Cuts takes Raymond Carver’s “A Small Good Thing” and preserves the plot almost perfectly. All the actions that take place in the story pretty much take place in the film, and even the relationships between the characters, and the characters themselves appear pretty much the same way.

The only significant change, and one that takes away from the impact of the narrative, is in how the audience finds out who is calling the parents. In storytelling, when a character knows something that the audience does not, it is called mystery. When the audience knows something that the character does not, it is called suspense. A character and an audience sharing equal amounts of information creates a bond between the character and the audience that serves to put the audience in the character’s place. The damage of creating suspense in the film is that it takes away from the impact of that revelation. While we certainly feel empathy when watching the characters suffer and knowing the cause of their suffering, it would be much more effective to have the audience suffer with the character, and then receive the same rush of insight as the character receives while the character receives it.
