Understanding the portrayal of adults in the book vs. movie adaptation
The movie adaptation is portrayed as a genius stroke by focusing on the adult characters, unlike the book which doesn't develop them since it's written from an 11-year-old's perspective. In the book, the large adult figures are depicted as looming and not fully understood, reflecting the confusion and distance felt by the young protagonist towards adult responsibilities and interactions.
