The plot events are the most important part in this short story and in the movie, because without them they wouldn’t make sense as they tend to be considered as the main points of what happens in the storyline. The addition of a character let’s Leonard make a dialogue instead of a monologue, giving the reader the chance to get tons of details and important information about the society, the atmosphere, and the feelings/emotions of the characters. Bob, being a grown up man, is constantly attracted by the T.V being technologically controlled by the government although, he still curious, enthusiastic, and (while also being terrified) wants to try and go for a walk with Mr.Mead. In contrast, in the movie, we have and extra character called Bob Stockwell letting us have a more clear mental image about the futuristic society. Mead didn’t give us any information and no important details about how the political system is organized, making it hard to fully understand how the society is and how does it work to successfully keep everyone controlled with the technology. In the short story, Mr.Mead was the only character, apart from the police van at the end, that we encounter during the storyline Leonard uses an internal monologue to communicate how the atmosphere and the society is where he lives, making the reader end up being confused at some points. In the same manner, both versions of the character are dystopian protagonists and are quite similar believing that something is terribly wrong in the society which he lives (this happens towards the end) and he helps the audience recognize the negative aspects of the dystopian world through his perspective in a successful way. Leonard Lead, that appears on both short story and film. First of all, we have the main character Mr. The characters are one of the most important items to take into consideration when talking about stories (a short story and a movie, in this case), as they are a key part where the plot events put reliance on plus, when they slightly change, other parts of the storyline may be affected. However, despite bearing some superficial similarities, the differences between The Pedestrian film and the short story of “The Pedestrian”, are clear and vary in characters, plot events, and resolution.
Leonard Mead, a 60 years-old man, who walks outside every night, for long hours.
They both show the audience a futuristic dystopian society, set in the year 2053, where the citizens are controlled by the government with technology to make them stay inside their houses, as being outside is forbidden with the exception of Mr. One of the many examples is the short story of “The Pedestrian”, written by Ray Bradbury and The Pedestrian film,ĭirected by Alin Bollinger and also written by Ray Bradbury. Although, you may be surprised that you can replace a boring and long monologue on a paper by the usage of an easy and fast dialogue on a screen.

Is the book always better than the movie? In most of the cases, this statement is true the book, lets us picture the whole scenario and plot events, in our heads, while the movie just may not show it with much detail that the book readers want.
