#Film Archive# Screenwriter: Haneke's book is four and a half hours long. He couldn't get the investment to make such a long film. So he turned to screenwriter Carrell, and Carrell pointed to two places where the length of the story could be shortened. The main suggestion was to cut out the scenes where the children in the village were left alone. With those parts removed, the viewer doesn't immediately associate the children as the perpetrators of these random acts of violence in the story. "In Haneke's script, it was obvious after 20 minutes that all the bad things in the village were actually done by the children," Carrell said. There's no need to be explicit about who did it." Haneke agreed, and the final film was cryptic and disturbing. Much of the original script was removed. The screenwriter, Carell, said that I didn't make up the story, and I didn't make up the characters. It was in the original script. What I did was like an editor, I just picked one scene out of three.
