"O" is omniscient

Annie Proulx's story is told from Ennis' viewpoint.
However the screenplay and movie take an omniscient point of view and we see things that Ennis could not be aware of.

After quarreling with Alma in the kitchen, Ennis grabbed his jacket, put his hat on backwards, and ran out of the house. [novella or screenplay??]
=aside=
I would love to see the backwards hat scene, Would Ang have filmed it, I wonder.

"Jack took the stairs two and two. They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying son of a bitch, son of a bitch;" From the story

Jack told Ennis he had to ask about ten different people in Riverton to find out where he was living.
