Haley, when I saw you commented on my post I immediately went to your substack and searched for this post. I have read this twice now. so enlightening! I actually didn’t mind much about the difference about the book and movie because, uhm, it was just a movie. But after reading this I realized how important it was to show the painting scene in the movie although they’d have to reinvent the whole story line haha.
That part about the light. I always found it so beautiful but I couldn’t grasp it as much as I want to in my head so thanks for articulating what I was thinking of!
Hi Jam!! Thank you so much! I love that you sought out my post on it. I remember feeling so sad that the painting scene wasn’t included when I saw the film, but I also love how they adapted the story for the film medium. I read somewhere that Winona Ryder worked on or maybe adapted the screenplay? She’s so amazing.
Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts!!
