Comments by Carl Rollyson Most recent public comments by Carl Rollyson https://nowcomment.com/users/11273 Most reviewers do not have a following. People do not recognize the reviewer's name. You just pointed out an exception to what is generally true. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=641476 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=641476 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 06:25:28 -0500 Most writers did not work on their own novels. They worked on other writers' novels. It was not a matter of pleasing directors, who had no power. Writers were working for producers who called all the shots. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=641206 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=641206 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 07:15:49 -0500 I assume you mean raped. I agree. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=641205 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=641205 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 07:14:14 -0500 Didn't finish writing the book? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=641082 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=641082 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:43:13 -0500 What is his purpose? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=641081 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=641081 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:42:17 -0500 I'd advise not using that word impactful. It is awkward and there are much better words. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641080 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641080 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 00:01:37 -0500 The film tried to be authentic by using people from Oxford in the crowd scenes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641079 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641079 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:40:00 -0500 I think you make some good points. It is more difficult to sit with other people and watch Intruder in the Dust instead of reading it in private. But I don't think racism is the only issue. Many people only want entertainment, not to think. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641078 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641078 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:38:40 -0500 Trump, a television star, knows exactly how to entertain in Hollywood fashion. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641077 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641077 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:35:59 -0500 In 1948, segregation was still a powerful force, and no Hollywood studio would dare to integrate. Hollywood producers were not known for their courage. They also worried about hurting profits. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641076 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641076 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:35:03 -0500 Intruder is all the more fascinating viewed in the context of the history you mention. I reviewed a good biography of Micheaux some years ago. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641075 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=641075 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:33:55 -0500 Hawks had tremendous respect for Faulkner as a writer, and Hawks also knew that many novelists did not find the adjustment to Hollywood easy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=641074 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=641074 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:31:59 -0500 Ab is fascinating because he is uncompromising. Most people make compromises. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641073 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641073 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:31:09 -0500 Yes, getting an actor like Tommy Lee Jones to play Ab means the film has to take advantage of a great actor playing a great character. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641072 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641072 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:29:27 -0500 Sarty shares some characteristics with Chick in Intruder in the Dust. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641071 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641071 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:27:33 -0500 Confusing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641070 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=641070 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:24:47 -0500 Actually, most detectives in film and in books are not well read, although there are significant exceptions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641069 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:23:54 -0500 Good point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641068 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641068 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:22:57 -0500 Film noir and the production code sometimes work together in the sense that they leave certain subject in the dark, creating a certain tantalizing mystery. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641067 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641067 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:20:30 -0500 Well put. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641066 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641066 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:19:27 -0500 Television is usually a lot of flashbacks now to make the audience curious about why characters act as they do. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641065 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641065 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:18:49 -0500 Bacall was fortunate to have the help of a great director and a great actor, Bogart, who was also in love with her and very supportive. She did not have to fake a romance. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641064 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641064 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:17:56 -0500 Films sometimes come together by accident and are better than anyone could suppose they would be. Hollywood film is always a matter of commercial and esthetic considerations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641062 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=641062 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:14:36 -0500 Most filmmakers expect the audience to be passive. And when you get a filmmaker who demands the audience's active participation, some members of that audience will be annoyed and say the film is boring or not entertaining. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641061 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641061 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:10:54 -0500 The title is an allusion to a famous line in classical literature, just as the title of The Sound and the Fury is. You are trying to take the title literally. It is a symbolic title. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641060 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641060 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:09:01 -0500 The right term is interior monologue, in which the character thinks or speaks to himself or herself. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641059 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641059 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:07:43 -0500 Citizen Kane lost money. It was also a headache for the studio, with threatened lawsuits and problems with distribution. And Olson Welles, from the studio's point off view, was given too much power over the film. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641058 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641058 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:06:58 -0500 'But film can be just as powerful by making the audience project into the character as played by the actor. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641057 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641057 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:05:34 -0500 The book is composed of interior monologues. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641056 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641056 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:04:39 -0500 part of the novel's purpose and the film's is to create just the kind of complexity that readers and viewers find difficult. So many films and novels simplify and in that sense are not authentic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641055 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641055 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:03:39 -0500 It is the power of Faulkner's language that is paramount. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641054 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641054 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:01:48 -0500 The fiction is not slight. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641053 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641053 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:00:56 -0500 The other technique Franco uses in The Sound and the Fury is voice-over. You hear the characters thoughts as he or she acts. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641052 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641052 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:00:02 -0500 Good example. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641051 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641051 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:54:04 -0500 Jarring is a good word. It is not what film usually does, but in this case it seem necessary to the director. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641050 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641050 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:52:02 -0500 Your right. It is a tough assignment to film Faulkner. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641049 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641049 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:50:51 -0500 Peeks. Peaks means something else. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641048 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641048 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:49:19 -0500 Now, in a way, film has caught up with authors like Faulkner. Those who wish can re-view the film just as they re-read a novel, or parts of a film or novel. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641047 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641047 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:48:18 -0500 I think you are missing the point. A very good film can be watched many times, and each time you may find something more to value,just as you can in a good novel or play or poem. Of course you miss things the first time. There is a lot to take in. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641046 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641046 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:47:15 -0500 True, although now with dvds and streaming, viewers at least have option to go over certain scene, replay sequences, and so on, as you can do with a book. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641045 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641045 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:45:59 -0500 Yes, the acting or direction can make connections that take longer in the novel to understand. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641044 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=641044 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:44:28 -0500 Such a scene, even today, cannnot be shown in a mainstream film. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=641043 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=641043 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:38:49 -0500 Unless the reviewer is chosen because he or she has a particular kind of bias and experience that may yield a provocative and controversial review. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56359?scroll_to=641042 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56359?scroll_to=641042 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:38:06 -0500 Atmosphere. You need to proofread your comments. Many of them are confusing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=641041 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=641041 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:33:25 -0500 Bread? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=641040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=641040 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:32:47 -0500 Not clear. hard to be shown on screen? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=641039 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=641039 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:32:16 -0500 Depends on what you mean by "poor." Poorly written? Yes, an editor will not publish such a review. But if poor means negative, then most of the time editors go with the negative review. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=641038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=641038 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:29:42 -0500 Actually this is not true. Editors are reluctant to change what a good writer provides, and most good writers would object to substantial changes. Book editors are especially wary of making changes. They make suggestions; they do not give orders. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=641037 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=641037 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:28:24 -0500 I would not agree that society constantly progresses. It changes, yes, but that is not always progress. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=641036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=641036 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:26:37 -0500 It depends where you look and what you are reading. Lots of negative, nasty reviews on amazon.com https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=641035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=641035 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:25:53 -0500 Actually, very few reviewers have a following, which means readers and editors would not even be aware of the phenomenon you are describing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=641034 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=641034 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 06:25:28 -0500 Good point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56401?scroll_to=641033 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56401?scroll_to=641033 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:15:46 -0500 Sometimes less is more. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56401?scroll_to=641032 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56401?scroll_to=641032 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:15:15 -0500 Must have been can also be considered wishful thinking. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=641031 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=641031 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:13:37 -0500 Expertise is usually valuable, but only if the expert knows how to write, and they don't necessarily do. And sometimes there is valuable in getting a reviewer who reflects what non specialists think of a book. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641030 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641030 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:12:45 -0500 Authors do not get the opportunity to argue with reviewers. An author can send a letter to the editor that might get printed, but those letters just look like the writer has injured feelings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641029 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641029 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:11:40 -0500 Editors, especially on newspapers, don't have time to edit. They pick first rate writers who don't need a lot of editing. Anyone who turns in copy that needs a lot of editing will be out of a job. So the editor's important task is to pick a good writer. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641028 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641028 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:10:39 -0500 I also think an honest reviewer can correct for bias and allow the reader to make an intelligent choice. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641027 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56400?scroll_to=641027 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:08:35 -0500 Both cooking and decorating are aesthetic activities. They rely on a sense of taste and proportion. Many people regard Monroe as no more than the sexy dumb blonde they see in the movies. So yes these activities make her more complex. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=640643 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=640643 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:36:02 -0500 Anyone could be a reviewer, but really,should just anyone be a reviewer? Would Pool agree? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56359?scroll_to=640642 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56359?scroll_to=640642 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:33:22 -0500 Affects. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56359?scroll_to=640641 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56359?scroll_to=640641 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:32:40 -0500 I don't think gleamed is the right word. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=640640 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=640640 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:32:13 -0500 No, his slaveholding is not ignored; it is compartmentalized. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=640639 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=640639 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:30:19 -0500 Tarnished? Doesn't it just make him a complex human being, not just the author and politician of importance? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=640638 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=640638 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:29:45 -0500 It is too simple to say half autobiography, half fiction. The proportions differ and some artist don't believe art is autobiography. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640637 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640637 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:23:34 -0500 Should the average viewer be catered to in every film that is made? Why? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640636 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640636 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 14:26:48 -0500 But sometimes just understanding what is going on is a way at getting at the truth. That is certainly the case in Faulkner's novels. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640635 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640635 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:21:35 -0500 Black humor deals with sensitive topics. The film is set in the depression but it was not made in the depression, so there is no reason why it could not use black humor. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640634 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640634 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:19:16 -0500 Central character?

Editors are independent. They don't follow the lead of publishing houses. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56358?scroll_to=640629 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56358?scroll_to=640629 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:15:22 -0500 Or increase the sexual tension? https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=640628 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=640628 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:12:28 -0500 Do you mean book review editors? If so, I don't understand your point. Book review editors owe nothing to publishing houses. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56358?scroll_to=639792 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56358?scroll_to=639792 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 06:39:52 -0500 Good questions but watch those prepositions: arrives at, ignorant of https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=639787 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=639787 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 07:12:36 -0500 Made more sense of space?

So it may make a little money that way, perhaps enough to cover the costs of production. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=638187 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=638187 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:04:38 -0500 You can only say the book does a much better job if you are going to judge the film by the standards of the book rather than by the standards of what a film can do. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=638186 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=638186 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 23:57:21 -0500 A good summary.
