Screenplay Comparions Part 1

The Royal Tenenbaums,
Page 87-89

In comparing the screenplay with the actual movie for the Royal Tenenbaums, there is a drastic difference in the screen where Richie decides to kill himself and the screenplay. According to the screenplay there was silence as he slices his wrists versus the movie where there is music until Dudley enters the room and screams. There is also a series of flashbacks from the movie as he you see the blood fall to the floor. Without the soundtrack the written word of this movie is not as effective, however seeing the final product is somewhat inspirational. The scene also sticks to the description of the other sequences quite well.
