The Tell Tale Heart.
In this story, Poe talks of an old man with one blue eye with film over it, and how it disturbs him to the point of madness and brings him murderous contemplations. He goes into the old mans chamber every night, it's not the old man he wants to get rid of, it's the eye. On the night he is ready to kill the old man, he describes how the beating of his heart angers him. "It was wide open, wide, wide open-and I was furious as I gazed apon it." (Page 5) Then he threw the old man on the ground and thrust the bed apon him and he died I guess. He then dismembered the body and put the pieces under the planks on the floor. Three police then came over, and the murderer gradually became more and more insane until he shouted, "Villians! Disassemble no more, I admit the deed!- tear up the planks! Here! Here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!" (Page8)
In Edgar Allen Poe's, "The Tell Tale Heart," the main character is the old man and the man speaking in first person. He describes the old man as a nice man. "I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me an insult." (page3) Then the reason for his passionate hatred comes out. "I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture-a pale blue eye with film over it. Whenever it fell apon me, my blood ran cold: and so by degrees-very gradually-I made up my mind to rid myself of the eye forever." (Page 3) He even describes himself as being mad. A little later in the story, he describes how the old man is sitting erect on his bed in pure terror. He also describes the awful beating of the old mans heart, and how it is driving him even further into madness until he pushed so far and he kills the old man.
If I were to be appointed the director of the film, "The Tell Tale Heart," I would not leave any detail out, everything is important, every detail of madness and insanity is completely and utterly necessary. The main character, which I am assuming is Edgar Allen Poe, would once again be Edward Norton. He is a very talented actorand I'm sure he would dilligently replicate the schizophrenic characters that Poe depicted in "The Tell Tale Heart." As for the horrid old man with the disgusting eye and hideous heart beat, I guess that could be easilly played by my grandfather because he has a similar case of the light blue eye with the film over it. For the police officers, they would be Randen, Cody, and Matthew because thy're funny and I love those kids.
