His childhood was dominated by his church and his local neighborhood. Myers eventually changed his middle name from Milton to Dean to honor their parentage. When his mother died when he was two years old, Myers went to live with Florence Dean, his biological father’s first wife, and her husband Herbert Dean, who raised him in Harlem, New York City.
The movie includes moments where Steve questions whether or not O'Brien believes his innocence, but she responds that "it doesn't matter what I believe." In the end, the movie seems to have that opinion as well, with O'Brien's moral beliefs pushed to the background and having no major effect on Steve.Walter Dean Myers was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia, in 1937. It's a satisfying scene, but it erases the moral question that her actions pose in the book. In the film, the relationship between Steve and O'Brien comes to an end with a respectful handshake, and both are clearly happy to have won the case. This has a huge effect on his mental health in the months afterwards as he questions why she didn't accept the hug, and if she actually believes he's a "monster" as the prosecutor labels him.
Throughout the original story, Steve's innocence isn't certain, and it's ultimately up to the reader to decide what they believe about Steve's involvement in the robbery and murder. At the end of the book, after the verdict is read, Steve turns to O'Brien to give her a hug, but she rebuffs him. This conversation is an obvious parallel to the trial's exploration of the many different perspectives of one crime, with people like Bobo, Cruz, random witnesses, and Steve all having a different memory or belief of what happened on that fateful day. Instead, there are other film elements that make their way into "Monster." In many of Steve's flashbacks, the movie uses Steve's camera as a way to see things from his point of view, and there are many clips of his short films featuring his girlfriend, strangers, and even King, that are incorporated into these key scenes.Īlong with that, the themes and multiple point of views featured in the movie "Roshomon" are discussed in a film class before the crime takes place. While the film sometimes shows Steve picturing his life as a movie through his narration, the trial mostly plays out like it would in a normal courtroom drama. In the transition to screen, the story of Steve's trial is jumping mediums, almost as if his dream is coming true and his screenplay is being produced.
