9. In this case it's taking a short story to make a two hour movie...
not an easy task at all whether it's a book or a short story.

5. The original source
The short story was 11 pages or so and they made a 2 1/2 hour movie out of it. To me that's impressive.
That movie was amazing and the award was well-deserved.
