Ned is Ed but Ed isn’t quite Ned in this movie.\u00c2\u00a0 I miss my old Ned.\u00c2\u00a0 This one is a little too cool without being so brutal.\u00c2\u00a0 His gambling isn’t as important, and he definately had a different thought process when he found that razor in the bathroom.\u00c2\u00a0 In the book, Ned’s first idea is to kill himself, cutting his throat with the rusted blade.\u00c2\u00a0 In the film, Ed finds the razor and, suddenly, thinks to go get his lighter out of his coat pocket.\u00c2\u00a0 Ed is just a little bit too clever.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Scenes are out of order.\u00c2\u00a0 It is a much more straightforward mystery.\u00c2\u00a0 Paul is crazier, more unbalanced.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0One part I did like was the toothbrushing scene.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian Donlevy plays Paul Madvig very well, if\u00c2\u00a0 a little differently.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know, I feel like the movie is more noir than the book.\u00c2\u00a0 Which is why they call it film noir, I guess.\u00c2\u00a0 It is\u00c2\u00a0very caught up in its noiress, its noirocity.\u00c2\u00a0 The book was bigger than the overcoats and cigarettes.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeff is pretty funny, eh?\u00c2\u00a0 And Nick is Shad.\u00c2\u00a0 Looking forwards to finishing and then I’ll say more.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
