Great synopsis. But you missed one very important thing: contrary to the novel and to the movie, Holly does NOT kill Harry. There are many hints to prove this: ➼ narrator says this is Vienna where anything is bound to happen ➼ Dr Kurtz tells Holly, 'in your stories anything can happen' ➼ when we first see Harry he is met by a cat (nine lives, remember?) ➼ kitty rubs himself against Harry's shoe which was wing tipped (Phoenix symbol - mythic figure which repeatedly rises from dead) ➼ Harry & Holly meet at Ferris Wheel (representing Circle of Life meaning endless life recycling) ➼ Harry tells Holly 'we could never hurt each other' ➼ Holly shoots at Harry but we don't see Harry's dead body ➼ At the second funeral we again do not see Harry's corpse ➼ Two years after the movie a new radio show is presented with Harry narrating his own "death" -- do dead men tell tales? ➼ Five years later Harry appears in modern day Europe in the new 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧 series which ran from 1959-1965. All the proof is there - Holly Martins did NOT kill Harry Lime.
Great synopsis
Great synopsis. But you missed one very important thing: contrary to the novel and to the movie, Holly does NOT kill Harry. There are many hints to prove this:
➼ narrator says this is Vienna where anything is bound to happen
➼ Dr Kurtz tells Holly, 'in your stories anything can happen'
➼ when we first see Harry he is met by a cat (nine lives, remember?)
➼ kitty rubs himself against Harry's shoe which was wing tipped (Phoenix symbol - mythic figure which repeatedly rises from dead)
➼ Harry & Holly meet at Ferris Wheel (representing Circle of Life meaning endless life recycling)
➼ Harry tells Holly 'we could never hurt each other'
➼ Holly shoots at Harry but we don't see Harry's dead body
➼ At the second funeral we again do not see Harry's corpse
➼ Two years after the movie a new radio show is presented with Harry narrating his own "death" -- do dead men tell tales?
➼ Five years later Harry appears in modern day Europe in the new 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧 series which ran from 1959-1965.
All the proof is there - Holly Martins did NOT kill Harry Lime.
Your friend is a low down racketeer
Not 'was'...
Thereby
The Brit tells the Yank
Your 'friend' Lime
Still walks the Earth
You're missing all the fun. I hope this cliff notes approach is kept in its right place.
Shut up! Don't critique! Just enjoy!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
The movie is different the book.
Yes, but did you prefer the book or the movie?
The book was written after the movie in this case.
