Do you think they were purposely omitted? Why so? How might have their addition effected the overall tone of the movie? Or, why was leaving them out the right choice?ģ. For example, the book goes into detail about Uncle Stanley arousing himself in front of Jeanette, Brian’s encounter with the prostitute, Jeanette’s run-in with Billy Deel, and the time when Jeanette wakes up to a wandering stranger who comes inside their unlocked house fondling her while she sleeps.
