Leaving a trace of himself in certain characters. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=635423 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=635423 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:15:45 -0500 Cinematography can invoke emotion with the use of lights and darks creating contrast, colors to make certain emotions pop out. For example the use of red can refer to love or anger. Also, the use of perspective,camera angles. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=635393 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=635393 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 23:49:02 -0500 Yeah his home became historic and an important building to go look back to. Those who live in that resident area appreciate his hard work. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=635383 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=635383 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:40:41 -0500 Faulkner demonstrates black comedy through the characters actions. The Bundrens demonstrating incompetent behavior. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635360 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635360 Example: Anse Bundren, the husband who doesn't articulate the meaning of "work". Darl said "I have never seen a sweat stain on his shirt. He was sick once from working in the sun when he was twenty-two years old, and he tells people that if he ever sweats, he will die" Addie Bundren has always prepared his meals, clean, everything. The irony is that Anse marries a woman after knowing her for a few days after Addie has been buried. He depends on others. Fri, 09 Dec 2016 06:54:56 -0500 Decentered novel has this use of shifting the center focus from a point to another. Basically multiple point of views. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635339 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635339 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 02:30:43 -0500 I agree, it also helps to highlight the most important moments of the characters where it will push the story forward towards the plot. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635335 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635335 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 22:13:02 -0500 The use of the split screen definitely helps us see similar scenes and not miss anything but rather gain more stuff to find. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635331 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635331 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 22:02:57 -0500 We can get inside the characters mind in the novel much easier because while reading we place ourselves in their shoes, their situation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635329 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635329 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 16:01:19 -0400 Yeah the split screen technique is intended to signify simultaneous action. It also helps strengthen the sense these characters are making when we see different perspectives. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635328 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635328 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 21:54:48 -0500 I agree that the situations happening between these 2 stories have their similarities. I have read the book/saw The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and remember those events. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=634162 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=634162 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 12:45:21 -0500 I agree. With that change of action the family's life got out of that never ending loop to towards another situation to deal with. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=629115 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=629115 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 19:33:22 -0500 Yeah I can see where you are going with this. Humans can go to the extreme when it comes to their emotions/feelings to do what they see as right. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=629113 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=629113 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 19:26:31 -0500 The script focuses on the Tommy Lee Jones character because..... https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627739 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627739 The script focuses on the Tommy Lee Jones character because he brings more power of attention. He is known to be a big star and that catches the audiences attention to see how his character portray as. Also, the actions of the Abner character carries the story on up to the end (and Sarty too.) Wed, 30 Nov 2016 22:18:23 -0500 Their lives were stuck in a never ending cycle. Same drama and predicament repeating over and over again. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627736 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:59:16 -0500 Abner Snopes went through so much in his life it really damaged him to the point hatred had consumed him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627732 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627732 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:31:09 -0500 Faulkner's home, Rowan Oak, was his private world (imaginary and reality) where he spent a lot of time being productive on writing his novels. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627729 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627729 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 19:35:33 -0500 At Sarty's age of being 10 years old, you would expect him to please his father. But he sees how his father is manipulating him using the importance of family honor to do harsh tactics. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627724 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=627724 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 23:25:10 -0500 Could you imagine what Faulkner would have incorporated in the film based on today's world? Possibly very interesting messages while breaking the boundaries with the lack of censorship. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620817 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620817 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 05:39:05 -0500 The "Reporter" is a character unnamed and is depicted to show that he or she is experiencing a personal crisis of identity. Using a nameless character can prevent readers from attaching an identify. Being unknown makes it accessible to the readers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620816 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620816 Fri, 18 Nov 2016 01:52:29 -0500 I agree with you on that, mixing these inspirations together is the reason why Faulkner wrote his novel. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620806 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620806 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 15:12:32 -0500 Cinematic elements https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620796 Faulkner goes in depth in writing with the help of cinematic elements. Can see and feel the emotions with the power of imagery. Fri, 18 Nov 2016 01:04:39 -0500 Censorship https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620718 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620718 The Tarnished Angels cope with the problems by having alternative ways to shot the scene without breaking the production code. Would be difficult to root for a main character being censored because it would mislead the audience and not go hand in hand with the character. Fri, 18 Nov 2016 00:41:33 -0500 The reporter has a name in the movie because it makes it easy for the audience to identify the character. It gives more emphasis,a sense of identity and great important on his role. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620680 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620680 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:42:17 -0500 Faulkner's inspiration for his book came from the fact he was so into planes. He was such a big fan and enjoyed watching air shows. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620656 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620656 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 15:12:32 -0500 Honest Film https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620641 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620641 Faulkner called the film Tarnished Angels honest because he felt the essence of his novel was floating throughout the scenes in the movie. There wasn't a complete difference of storytelling between the novel and the film. Thu, 17 Nov 2016 23:20:07 -0500 The Big Sleep is an amazing classic film noir. Sure it isn't perfect, lacking certain elements like voice-over narration and flashbacks. But it sure explores the genre of mystery, drama, crime and features stories involving femmes fatales. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600251 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600251 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 12:15:23 -0400 These lines pictures an image of Marlowe being so sarcastic and witty. He knew he just got insulted by Vivian and he throws a comeback that was so brilliant it enhances his character. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600250 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600250 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:22:39 -0500 To show how much of a good edgy man he is. Even though his work can be very violent it doesn't mean he really is one. He is human, can express more emotion but in his own way. Marlow being sweet so much shows his gentleman side. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600249 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600249 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 12:12:46 -0400 Shamus is a slang term for an private detective. Its origin is from a common Irish name Seamus (James), back then a lot of Irish Americans traditionally served as cops. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600160 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600160 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 00:27:32 -0400 Hawks told Faulkner no flashbacks because he didn't want to have the backstories ruin the flow of mysterious and suspense in the present timeline. Flashbacks always give extra information whether its plot related or not. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600152 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600152 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:25:24 -0500 Bogart and Marlowe are similar by that fact they both tough in the streets and clever, but honest and kind. Their manner of speaking are particularly witty and cocky, straight to the point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600139 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600139 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 00:11:33 -0400 Dialogue helps show and increase character development. It is a tool to express emotion and what they are capable of. Plus with good dialogue brings awesome opportunities for other characters to clash in the same scene and something will come out of it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600128 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600128 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 23:59:59 -0400 Film popularity https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600124 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600124 The audience gets attached to the characters and the story because of the combination of duration and suspense. It is so strong with the story telling that when cliff hangers happen, we react and want to know whats going to happen next. Even if its confusing for some or not, having something unsolved makes us interested to figure out what it is and what will happen next. Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:44:26 -0400 3 adjectives I would use to describe the movie is cryptic, constant, and troublesome. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600093 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=600093 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 23:26:29 -0400 Having the top stars falling in love in a film and in real life sounds like a wonderful dream to those who really loves seeing them together. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587554 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587554 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:33:25 -0500 Hawks transformed a novel that was very overtone to a romance-thriller genre that got filled with new perks of interest for the public. Directing the film in his effort becomes an important and classic well-made Hollywood movie. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587548 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587548 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:50:44 -0400 The style of the costume designs helps identify the time period where the story is taking place. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587540 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587540 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 15:30:38 -0500 The cinematography isn't just about the lighting and angle of the image but also to invoke strong emotions and strengthening the plot much more important. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587536 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587536 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 16:01:18 -0400 Must have been very impressive to come up with a famous romance story for everyone at the time and now to get familiar with amazing acting skills. Romance was blooming in the film and on set. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587527 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587527 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 14:27:23 -0500 The other purpose the facing doorways serve might be that it helps show honest real reactions when the moment is happening. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587522 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587522 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:46:59 -0400 The film and novel of "To Have and Have Not were very much different because Howard Hawks changed so much of the story to suit his own style of story telling. Due to that it feels less story telling from the others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587516 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=587516 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 06:52:24 -0400 This comment is telling me... https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=575615 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=575615 This comment is telling me that film censorship is reviewing something and choosing to remove or hide parts of it that are considered to be unacceptable, especially to the public eye. There are people who actually believe what they see. While some are aware its just a story being played by famous actors/actresses. Movies can have meanings of life in it but they can't really show the specifics do to censorship of really controversial topics; like rape scenes. Fri, 16 Sep 2016 08:39:48 -0400 I guess "a potent drug for the imagination" means.... https://nowcomment.com/documents/56413?scroll_to=575607 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56413?scroll_to=575607 I guess "a potent drug for the imagination" means that the reader use their imagination to see the perspective of the character of what they are going through. The book sort of makes you keep track of tally of events so that you can piece together the plot and solution. Even if it feels confusing jumping back and forth analyzing different timelines. Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:58:33 -0400 Too much excitement can get you stuck in a crazy situation, especially when not being careful. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567483 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567483 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 18:35:36 -0400 A story being adapted into a movie... https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567481 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567481 Well, the first difference between the novel Turnabout and the movie Today We Live is their actual titles. I can be sure that many people thought both were two different stories and not similar whats so ever. When it comes to a high productive film, many people are involved to make it the best that they can. While a short novel is created by the author, who developed the idea all on their own. Wed, 07 Dec 2016 02:02:13 -0500 Joan Crawford, love on set... https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567462 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567462 Joan Crawford at first resisted being cast in the all-male picture but then she finally accepted her role. By working with other successful actors, there are chances of actually falling in love on set due to their ways of working hard. Crazy how her character's brother is the actor who she ended up with for real life. Thu, 27 Apr 2023 16:01:17 -0400 Crawford,huge star in Hollywood at the time, was concerned about the dialogue because she wanted prove that she can perform as great as the men were at the set. Her character (that only exist in the film) is influenced by her status as an amazing actress. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567445 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567445 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 06:31:39 -0400 Hawks wanted Faulkner to just focus on the present time of the story. He probably didn't wanted Faulkner to risk of giving a flashback that be unclear, too long and not enough support to the main story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567424 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=567424 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 06:33:37 -0500 Faulkner was so skilled and had a gift of adapting the works of others to create famous movies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=555796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=555796 Faulkner was so skilled and had a gift of adapting the works of others to create famous movies. Filming was a new exciting form of storytelling back then. Which of course can draw in huge amount of popularity and money. Faulkner as a screenwriter became a mix relationship of ups and downs between passion and easy access to gain finance Thu, 01 Sep 2016 11:56:02 -0400
