After reading Beginners and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, I like the Beginners more. Most of the time, well, to me anyways, the original piece is probably better. I don't like that in What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, much of the details of the old couple story were cut out. It was much more heartfelt in Beginners. Instead of just saying that the old man, whose heart was breaking because he couldn't turn his head to see his wife, Beginners had the extra details of how the wife was tearing when she finally saw her husband and gave us visual image of her bruised hand. I got better understanding of their love for each other. It's quite beautiful.
