How has the visual interpretation of the story changed your impressions of the characters or situations? Do we get a different feeling about the characters themselves or their relationships with each other? To some degree, the film is told from Rob’s perspective, but we are no longer stuck in the tight first-person narration of the novel. We can see for ourselves. How has this changed things?

The visual interpretation did change my perspective of the characters somewhat. It certaintly made me like Rob a bit more, the same with Barry. Actually seeing them for some reason just made them seem more human than just trying to invision them from a book description. It also made me dislike Ian more, the same with Liz i just wasn't a fan. But as for Rob actually seeing him as a person, it just changes your view on them when you can actually see their emotion. It also seemed to change the perspective of some of the relationships. From watching the movie it seemed that Rob and Laura cared for each other a lot more than the book let on. It also helped us to see people differently since we were no longer stuck in Rob's perspective. We could see what other people were like for ourselves and not just how Rob described them. This can really change how we view people because it gets rid of the cloud of bias that Rob has and transfers to everyone else when he is describing them. However with the movie we don't have that cloud and we can more clearly see the characters.
