Scenes that would make a great movie (Anas)

There are many scenes in the novel that would lend themselves well to a movie.

When Billy Pilgram gets assassinated.

This would be perfect for a movie if it was the first scene. It would create alot of suspense for the audience and hook the audience into the move. So it would first show Billy giving his speech and then as he would begin to walk off the stage, it would should the snipers perspective. It would show Billy walking through the scope of a sniper rifle showing that he is about to get sniped. As the bullet is fired the camera angle would change so it would seem as if the camera is attached to the tip of the bullet. So when the bullet is travelling towards Billy, he would be on the screen and seem to be getting bigger and bigger until the bullet hits him. Then there would be a flash signifying that Billy had been shot, and the camera angle would change to a shot where the camera would be above Billy. That would make Billy seem small and insignificant. Then the camera would zoom into his eyes and the story would go back in time to the start of the book. By using the above scene in the movie, it shows one of the main unique things about the book and that is the lack of chronological order. By following what the book does, I think that movie adaptation would be effective.
