24Oh yeah
Но посмотрю дальше
In the American, they left the drawing with jelly, but made a sequel to it. We left David's quotes for Michael's character (about the main value - not buildings / papers, but people. And also about the fact that he is first of all a friend, and then a boss, and of course an aspiring comedian / artist.)
There is a scene in both versions of the secretary's dismissal. Jena Fisher played back the tears more naturally, and her British prototype Pam sent the boss cooler))
Briton Harry looks quite sickly, American Dwight is more assertive and confident. I pay tribute to how Rainn Wilson copied the way he spoke to the camera from his British prototype. And John Krasinski perfectly portrays Martin Freeman's smirk. (I read that Steve Carell didn't watch the original, but Rainn and John were fans)
There are a few more details that the Americans have adapted better. There are moments that remain only in the British version.
In general, it is interesting to see the original.
