I haven't seen it and am not inclined to do so. The movie in my head that Greene created with his words couldn't ever be appreciated on a big screen. It's the internal life of the characters where the real action takes place and belongs in the interior and intimate space of the reader to play out.
Not a big murder thriller reader, I thoroughly enjoyed the distinctive voice of an American whose commentary comes to live inside the story. For most of the twentieth century, Graham Greene offered us the great American novels.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
