Tomorrow the movie

After both reading the short story and watching the film, I definitely liked watching the film better. I didn't like the story because to me it was all over the place and I couldn't follow it at all. The movie was a little better in the sense that I had a better idea of what was going on. I liked how the story started out in the end and then went back and explained in the middle then went back to the end to bring it all back together in perspective. I thought the language was humerous-- Fentry talked like an idiot. Since it was so old, the acting was so dramatic and that was also funny. The only thing that I really didn't like about the movie was that the middle was so drawn out! After they took the kid they showed him running in the field for like 5 minutes. If they would have cut some of those unnecessary parts of the movie out, I definitely would have enjoyed the movie more. The adaptation from the story to the movie wasn't bad. There wasn't too many things that were hugely different but it wasn't quite the same either.
