Film Critic Very Loud and Incredibly Close Just like most well-received novels, Very Loud and Incredibly Close has its own film adaptation by Stephen Daldry. It is as impressive as the book itself, keeping the main plot which is the best thing a film adaptation should do, but on the other hand it has some changes that are very difficult to go unnoticed. The cast is probably the main reason for the excellent book. result of the film. For the lead roles Daldry chose award-winning actors such as Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks and Max von Sydow who could not have done a better job portraying their characters. Sandra as Linda Schell portrayed very well the distance that Oskar feels he has towards her, as well as the difficulties that we can see in the book that she is going through. Even Tom Hanks, who fits perfectly with the image of an intelligent man who chose family and the family business rather than an education more suited to his level. But the big star is of course Thomas Horn, who played the role of Oskar Schell. The performance of the talented young actor is simply incredible, it's hard to believe how easily he played such a dramatic story. The writers made a good choice by keeping the plot: Oskar finds the key in his father's closet in an envelope on which "Black" is written. it, inside a blue vase and desperately begins an expedition to New York to find the lock that fits the key. So far so good, however the perspective of the three narrators we have in the book, which gives the story an exciting dynamic, is completely ignored and we have Oskar as the sole narrator of the story. The film is told from Oskar's point of view but is still very poor in terms of his long internal monologues that are seen in the book. Another point that was ignored... halfway through the paper... concerns his emotional response, combined with the same melancholy music every time. However, the melancholy of the song always transformed into violent, loud and confusing notes whenever Oskar was out on the street facing his fears. Here the use of different points of view from Oskar's point of view was explored. Extreme close-ups on objects such as screws were often used to demonstrate Oskar's panic. Despite all the changes that were necessary but still bother readers of the original work, the film contained the same melancholy and excitement in the story. In both works we learn that the number of people who leave is high, but those who remain are even higher and everyone has their own story and sadness to share. The film adaptation intensifies the literary work, both can be studied and compared side by side and still retain their particular charm.
