a clean well lighted place

Alyssa Nunez
The videos show the story's ideas and themes well. The setting appears as it was described in the story. The cafe looks clean, has enough light and the old man sits alone. Th old man does not act drunk, he acts polite and does not cause any trouble. He does not hear what mean thing the younger waiter said to him , but he still says 'thank you'. The younger waiter wants the customer to leave becuase the waiter feels he has a life to live. As soon as the younger waiter tells the customer can not have anymore drinks, the old man leaves. When he leaves he no longer appears in light but in the darkness of night. The elements that change in the movie are the language and dialouge and some of the mood/emotion scenes. There could have been more emotion when the waiters talk about confidence. I think it helped to read and learn about Hemmingway before watching this. If i did not read the story I would probably interepret the movie only as against old people and his/her lives. One thing I notice in the movie is the way the young waiter treats the old man with disrespect and honors himself. If I made the movie I would have had the speaks talk clearer and with more emotion.
