The first novel, the feeling of the movie and the book is very different. The novel is more cruel and darker than the environment described in the movie. In the novel, Leo was not as gorgeous as in the movie when he was in Moscow, but a more stressful and nervous , Monotonous, poor atmosphere, restrained and cautious life. As the first and most exciting of the Soviet Dark Ages trilogy, the case of child 44 in this story is real, but the movie version does not make it People are shocking, but Leo is not touching. The






beginning of the film does not clearly explain the original cause of the whole story. In the novel, Leo and his brother lived in the era of famine, and even cannibalism occurred. When Leo and his brother were catching a cat in the forest, Leo was taken away by a couple who was about to eat people. His brother did not notice that his brother was attacked because of myopia. Leo also lost his memory due to a concussion at the time, but later The couple found out that they had adopted Leo instead, and Leo left his brother and mother.
Because of his young age and severe vision problems, Leo’s brother was unable to contribute to the family compared to Leo in the cruel environment at the time. His mother went crazy because of this, and when his mother was unconscious. , I regard my younger brother as his elder brother in every possible way, and when he is conscious, he will be cruel and harsh to the younger brother.

Without this prerequisite, it would be difficult for people watching movies to understand that the murderer's killing method was the method that Leo taught his brother to kill cats in the first place, and there is no way to feel why the murderer feeds the children's entrails to the cats.
These are the more important plots that have been deleted. Personally, I feel that the most stressful and emotional ending in the whole story. The scene where Leo and the murderer actually meet and kill the murderer has also been deleted.
