Film Critique- "A Clean, Well-Lighted place"

The story "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemmingway is basically about finding your way out of the dark and into the light. This is represented by an old man sitting under a shadow cast by a tree in a cafe, an old waiter, and a young waiter. The younger waiter is sort of naive, in a way, and mostly cares about himself. The older waiter is more mature, but-here is more symbolism of light and dark- wants to stay later at the cafe because it is clean and well lit. This means that he does not like the dark, or is afraid of it.

In the film, the first thing I noticed was that the old man wasn't sitting in a shadow like in the story. This takes away a huge part of the symbolism of light and dark. Another thing I noticed was that the people had Irish accents, when they are mentioning Spanish words in the story. To be perfectly honest, I didn't like how they did the adaptation because it doesn't show as much detail as the story.
