Jesus's son
...s the characters tone similarly. However, the author and the director go about it in different ways giving the reader/film-watcher an image of Dundun. In the story, Johnson does not go into detail about what the character looks like physically. This gives the reader the power to imagine anything they’d like. In the movie the director, Hill, P.2 Alison Maclean, decided to use a tall dark man for Dundun. This choice makes his character more bold and authoritative; bringing a whole new dimension to this character. In a similar note, the director decided to use a direct passage out of the narrated part of the story. “If I opened up your head and ran a hot iron around in your brain, I might turn you into someone like that.” (Dundun Last Par.) Both the director and the author use this passage to stress that Dundun is addicted to drugs, explaining the reason for his insanity. McInnes is illustrated as a flat character in both the film and the story. He doesn’t bring much to the content of plot. He is the silent center of an emergency and that is the extent.

Although the movie skewed the overall character of McInnes, it also gave him a deeper presence, from the clothes he wore to the expressions used on his face. “FH” also known as “Fuck-head” was the largest personality of both movie and story. He was the narrator and main character. In the movie, his trustworthiness as a narrator can be questioned greatly. Throughout the film “FH” stutters and messes up the Hill, P.3 timeline of when certain events happen. In the story, however, his narration was only slightly odd and doesn’t sound as questionable. This causes the movie tone of “Fuck-head” to surface. He seems to be a dimwitted drugy that can’t hold his life together. Through the advancement of the film o...
