Well, being entirely unfamiliar with the source material, I suppose I can shed some light on that subject. I certainly enjoyed it, with no prior knowledge. And I think I even garnered some idea of what the source material IS like. It seems like it is a series of mostly self contained stories of tragic but heroic individuals, linked only by their common residence and therefore occasional shared acquaintances. These individuals often (always? I hesitate to say that, 'cause Dwight survives the movie...) die for their troubles.
Do I have the right idea?
