A Place to Socialize



A cafe, clean, and well lighted. In the story A Clean, Well-lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway is about two waiters having to stay late because of an old man drowning his sorrows in drink. The film someone made makes this story a little more dramatic and let someone understand it a little more. Some things that added suspense to this is the music in the beginning which sounded sad because the old man was drinking his sorrows away. Also when the young waiter kicked him out the music started playing again, I don't think it was for the old guy leaving but the older waiter not wanting the younger waiter to kick him out.

Although the music is interesting to talk about don't forget about the lighting and screenshots in this story's film. The lighting was confusing because cafes are supposed to be lit up all the time but half the bar was not lit. Also some of the lights in the cafe and around were very dim. Different Screenshots made this dramatic during some parts of the film. Also at some points to make it even more dramatic the screenshots would be at the waiters then the old man.
