A Clean, Well-Lighted Place Comparison

The piece "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" and the short film were very different from each other. There were many similarities, but then there are things that were changed from the piece to the film. Personally, I thought that the directors didn't capture the true meaning of the story. 

When a story sets a setting or a mood, it must be shown as a visual to capture the watcher's attention and inform them how the character feels. For an example, the old man wasn’t sitting in the shadow next to the window. I thought that this was important because it showed that he was in the darkness. It would have made the mood and setting more intense. Some tweaks from the story to the film are normal, but I don't think the directors caught the main idea and the true meaning of the story.
