The short story and the film that portrays "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" share both the same and different characteristics. Is most cases, a visual on the story that is read is beneficial, and more liked than just reading it, but not in this case. I didn't like the film to the short story at all, I don't think that it portrayed the mood and the effect that the story was supposed to have. Also, I think that picturing the setting and the characters would have been more accurate to the story if there wasn't a film. Lastly, I don't think that the message that was given off was given off to it's full potential in the film.
Our imagination can describe and depict stories the way that we think that they should look--if it takes place in the 1920's, the setting that we picture in our head is going to look different than what takes in the 1990's. The scenery inside of the cafe is completely not what it looked like in my head; that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the way that it looked wasn't the way that it was supposed to look. The lighting was completely off and the characters that were deemed to be the waiters were completely in the wrong character--they didn't play the role right whatsoever. Overall, I loved the writing part of it, but I did not like the film that as made.
