There are several similarities and
differences between the story and the film adaption. Some of the changes made were for the better,
while others were for the worse. I think
that the setting should have been different inside the bar, but I liked how
when the old man left he walked into darkness with only one light.
The setting in the film adaption
was disappointing not only because it did not look like a bar, but also because
the old man was inside instead of outside on the patio. The old man was supposed to be sitting in the
shadows, but since he was inside a very light place, there were hardly any shadow
to put him in.
I liked the symbolism as the man
walked into the dark with only one light to lead him. It means that he has only one option and no
others. Also it could symbolize that he
is going back to his life of depression, sadness and loss.
