Also, lay off the sound effects. To equate the beautifully pointless circumstances and result of Meursault's crime to the sound of bacon frying (or a downed power-line) cheapens everything.

And that sloppy overlap at 1:36 followed by a comedy fog horn? Come on man.

Stick to making bad movies about things people don't have strong feelings for. This silly little movie is NOT "The Stranger" in any way other than a few similar circumstances set to bad sound editing.

people have different interpretations.. this was just an adaptation anyway i think if he were to appropriately interpret the novel it would've been at least 86 minutes longer lol

I enjoyed this.

I think it's very good. Congratulations because this is a scene which is really difficult to shoot. Good work!

I don't know.

It just seems like a great novel that was adapted in a very literal fashion. We have the beach, the knife and the gun and some cut scenes of "Meursault" in what I guess is a jail cell?

And while the sun is a powerful image and vehicle in Camus' book - it doesn't work at all here. It's clearly cold outside (leather jackets and beanies are a dead giveaway) and no amount of brow-wiping (2:13) can convince me otherwise. Without the heat, the sunlight is a moot point.

You are right, I'm sorry. I just don't like it, it isn't how I imagined it.

Meh, it's a scene from the stranger. Would you rather him call it that? If you can't recognize that, well, you've never read the book.

NICE! you have very nice the sun and his light symbolistic surprise.You have reac with the soul the book,not only with the eyes and mind.Congratulations and good luck!

epic fail.

[nitter93]

God damnit. Fuck. Why did you even bother? Worthless. You cannot call this an adaptation of The Stranger, it's just a stupid, four-minute long video project. It represents nothing, it means nothing, and I wish Camus were alive so he could shoot you for associating it with him. Fucking idiot.
