A Clean Well Lighted Place

1. I think that for the short story that Hemingway wrote, the adaptation is exactly how i personally thought the scene would take place. A very clean and illuminated place where a person can feel comfortable in the surroundings.

2. From how I took specific scenes in the short story, this adaptation is almost exactly how I think Hemingway intentions were. In the clip scenes of no belief in anything and suicide are expressed which go back to Hemingway and how he thought throughout his life.

3. I think one thing that threw the whole scene away was the way they talked which by looking at the short story I know this wasn't a place for that kind of accent in my opinion. The dialog was 100% exact but the scene could have had more meaning especially once I read the story.

4. Personally I think that there could have been a bit more revision in creating the film. It seemed as if they didn't necessarily rush but didn't put enough thought into the film at the same time which ended up hindering my overall rating of the film.

5. If I made the video I think I would most definitely change the accents and give more meaning during scenes especially when the bar needing to be polished and further explaining how that even goes back to Hemingway's thoughts. I am not saying it was horrible but it was not a masterpiece at the same time and maybe with these minor changes the whole picture would end up being a film worth watching.
