Question

Why might a film adaptation of a short story choose to omit the physical description of a character?

A. It would interfere with the film's plot.
B. It would remove the audience's suspension of disbelief.
C. It would allow the audience to use their imagination more.
D. The description would not be needed because the audience can see the actor.

Answer 1

The answer is D. Why would they need to describe someone who is being seen? That's like introducing someone to your friend, and describing your friend to this new person. They can see your friend, so you don't have to explain what your friend looks like! I hope this helps.
