People only know what theyre told especially when their emotions and convictions are constantly played with. Like Mersault we need to think beneath the surface. Things are not always what they appear to be. Mersault appears callous and apathetic, but his outburst at the priest at the end shows that he has great passion for life. The difference is that his passion is not misdirected. He cherishes life and this world not an afterlife.

By aspiring to an afterlife we lose focus on this life and what we should be doing in the here and now and thereby miss out on what this world has to offer like the simple pleasures Mersault believed in. Mersault unlike most people in the book understood what is important. Robert C. Solomon has excellent lectures of The Stranger and The Fall and several other philosophical works on Youtube. His explanations cleared up a lot of questions Ive had about Camus works for a long time.

I read "The Stranger" in 1975 when I was studying Existentialism, but this is the first time I've seen a movie production. It is a very unusual novel, far better than anything Sartre ever wrote. It is a novel that stays with you forever, because it deals with some very abstruse concepts.
Thanks for posting this movie. Depressing, sad, but deep & important.

Come se quella grande ira mi avesse purgato dal male,liberato dalla speranza,davanti a quella notte carica di segni e di stelle,mi abbandonavo per la prima volta alla dolce indifferenza del mondo.Nel trovarlo così simile a me,finalmente così fraterno, ho sentito che ero felice, e che lo ero ancora.

Again cheers for that AzeriNY. I've always shared similar opinions on everything in life to Mearsault's but couldn't explain why, until I've read the book...it all came clear to me then. The film was great too

Ye the film did not disappoint. I'm glad it stays true to the book. The only hiccup for me is the crying. Otherwise, it does justice to the novel.
