That's a charming and whimsical scenario! Let's imagine how "The Third Man" could be different if written and directed by English-speaking fluffy white kittens.
Storyline: Considering a cat's perspective, the storyline could shift from post-war political intrigue to territory disputes and social hierarchy within a feline community. Harry Lime might be a mysterious tomcat who has faked his own "disappearance" to manipulate the balance of power.
Themes: Themes may include territory, independence, curiosity, playfulness, and the fine balance between cooperation and competition often seen in cat social structures. The story might explore the tension between a cat's desire for autonomy and its need for social interaction.
Style: Cats have different sensory experiences than humans. The film may focus more on visual and auditory cues, reflecting a cat's heightened senses. Scenes might be shot from lower angles, mimicking a cat's point of view. The soundtrack could be replaced with sounds that attract or interest cats, like chirping birds or rustling leaves.
Character Interactions: Cats have a different language of social interaction than humans. Characters might communicate more through body language, positioning, and subtle cues than dialogue. Physical displays of dominance or submission could replace some of the verbal conflict in the original film.
Setting: The film might be set more in outdoor environments, reflecting a cat's interest in hunting, climbing, and exploring. Iconic scenes like the Vienna sewers chase could be replaced by a thrilling pursuit up trees or across rooftops.
Ending: The original film's bleak ending might be altered to reflect a cat's flexible social structure. The "Third Cat" could be reintegrated into the social structure, rather than being chased away or ostracized.
Remember, this is purely a fun and creative speculation. Cats have their unique ways of experiencing and interacting with the world, but our current understanding suggests that they don't create or understand narratives in the same way humans do. But imagining such a scenario certainly gives a delightful spin to the classic film!
