Author's Note: This is a comparison between the film and short story of A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, by Ernest Hemingway. I believe the film was much better since it can become more dramatic and stays exactly to the story.
In the film based on the short story A Clean, Well-Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway enhances the story in my opinion. You can experience what you couldn't in a book. In the beginning, music plays with many sharps and flats giving it a creepy and sad tone then, the lack of music gives the story a more serious feel. You see the expressions of the waiters and old man's face.
Another reason why the film enhances the book is because the film stays exact to the book in every detail while adding more. The waiters say exactly what they say in the book, and do everything that happened in the book short story down to exact detail. You can see the loneliness of the older waiter while he is at the bar, and depressing music adds on to the effect to make everything more dramatic as he sits alone. In conclusion, I believe the film is much better than the story since the film adds on to the book.
