      <title>Franco enhancing the film </title>

      <description>Well the usage of split screen within the film enhances the story. Although the source material itself is of a complex nature, the camera angles and split screen techniques do help simplify the overall narrative. Adding multiple perspectives into the story, all of which are giving emotions and points of view that the audience can better understand and follow. </description>

      <description>Agreed. That scene works quite well in the film. It's actually kind of interesting to see humor such as this have a presence being that the film or at least the source material is being used in a dark and serious manner. At the same time a notable absence of the black humor in the film adaptation. </description>

      <title>Absence of Black Humor </title>

      <description>Perhaps the absence of black humor was a decision made by James Franco. At least in terms of how wanted to go about and tell the story as a whole. There are different moments of black humor within the novel. For example the &quot;my mother is a fish&quot; line. Even though a humorous line such as that one, was executed as a serious moment. </description>

      <description>Absolutely. Although there are still some challenges faced between adaptation from novel to film. The usage of split screen in a manner of speaking does add some simplicity to the overall complex nature of the narrative this story presents.</description>

      <title>Decentered Film/Novel</title>
      <link>https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635338</link>

      <description>Unlike some films that primarily focus the story or plot on one character, Faulkner's novel add's multiple perspectives. Which here is what makes it decentered, adding multiple characters through the overall narrative arc. Here it is reflected through the usage of split screen, which compliment the technique of drawing in and providing multiple perspectives from different characters. Which makes it a decentered film.

      <description>Indeed. The usage of split screen does in comparison to the novel add some simplicity to the story telling and drawing the viewer into the scene. With camera angles perking different perspectives and emotions being drawn from these characters. As for the hollywood Approach, I would like to assume it involves the usage of a single character being used as the focus for the story and the one for the audience to follow through the films course. </description>

      <description>Indeed I agree. It does in a manner of speaking allow the audience to follow and understand the story better in comparison to how it is represented and interpreted in the novel. Plus as you said through its usage of camera angles provides unique perspectives during the scenes . Allowing the viewer into scene. </description>

      <description>Whether it be a book or a film, we use these as a means of entering a new world. We are drawn into the lives and personal affairs of characters. The experience being that we are undergo the suspense and thrills with each passing moment in the story as a whole. At the same time feel and resonate the emotions during this journey whether it be anger, love, etc. </description>

      <title>In regard to the Split Screen </title>
      <link>https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635318</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=635318</guid>
      <description>Yes indeed, the usage of split screen is without a doubt a remarkable technique used in this film. Being able to convey and visualize different perspectives and emotions within the same scene is just brilliant. Providing extra layers and depth to character emotions through the films events and course. At the same time as Sherya mentioned above it is a helpful technique for the audience in regard to what we should be seeing. </description>

      <description>Indeed this sense of morality serves as an inner conflict for his character through the course of the story. This is reflected in his actions including the example where you mentioned whether or not running away or assisting his  father. </description>

      <description>Yeah exactly. At such a young age a child from that point of view would follow in the fathers path and assistance. The manipulation that his father uses on him ultimately serves as an inner conflict for the character. And this is reflected within the course of the film , for example when he confronts another young child who is talking bad of his father. </description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=628492</guid>
      <description>Yeah I completely agree. It's interesting to see that Sarty is the one we get more of a view of in the novel in contrast to the films from Tommy Lee Jones. In both adaptations Abner and Sarty are practically complete opposites from one another, which is ironic in such a father and sun duo. Which is interesting to see how this is made known as these characters are developed more as the story progresses. </description>

      <description>Oh that's an interesting example. It truly visualizes Abner's hatred for the upper class. This superior figure in his lives serves as a means of fueling his hatred into the climax. </description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=628475</guid>
      <description>Yeah indeed the hatred consumed him. Or as the Professor stated class hatred. Especially in the position that Abner is put into both in the story and film adaptation. In terms of serving Major de Spain whom serves as the superior figure in comparison to Abner. Both characters have a negative relationship with one another which build up Abner's hatred and serving as the climax for the adaptions. </description>

      <description>This is symbolic in the family's journey and the uncertainty in their future. Being that they are going through this exile, it in a sense prevents them from moving forward in their lives. It's a bit like being trapped in and contained in a cycle that is bound to repeat constantly. </description>

      <title>Focus on Tommy Lee Jones Character </title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=628461</guid>
      <description>Well there are a variety of reasons as to why the script focuses on the Tommy Lee Jones character. For one, it's Tommy Lee Jones, whom of course ha a lot of credibility and reputation in his acting career. Having an actor with such a large presence is sure to initially draw in the focus and attention from targeted audiences. Especially with the character he is portraying. </description>

      <description>Indeed. It really provided further layers for relations such as Lavern and Roger. Plus as Braden mentioned in his post , he is utilized to help move the story a long for the audience. </description>

      <description>That's without a doubt the best way to describe it. Through his writing Faulkner does provide clear and powerful imagery through his writing and craft. Especially in regard to topics and themes such as alcoholism, etc. Providing a cinematic feel through the emotions it evokes upon the audience. </description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620603</guid>
      <description>In relation to previous posts and conversations regarding censorship in film, one thing to consider is the audience and the moviegoing experience. Censorship and alterations made in the film were simply used to keep audiences open minded through the duration of the film, at least in relation to any scenes that were censored due to criticism or inappropriate content. Plus rooting for a hero engages audiences. As they stated the reporter did I not offer that type of empathy, which as a result might have led to naming the chapter in order to give audiences a more bullied character to root for, </description>

      <description>Perhaps naming the character would make it simpler for audiences to identify the character through the duration of the film. Considering that in the novel the reporter is considered the nove's center of consciousness. </description>

      <description>Yeah, I totally agree with you. In a way the film might have resonated with him as far as the spirit and nature of the novel goes. Taking inspiration from source material as a result. Plus censorships are a valid point, preventing some scenes making it to the final result. </description>

      <title>Film Honesty </title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620581</guid>
      <description>It is quite possible that the film itself &quot;Tarnished Angels&quot; was stated as honest by Faulkner due to the fact it resonated with him in terms of the spirit and nature of the novel itself. As far as the source material goes as well as time period during World War 1. During the film making and editing process there are times when the original material does not make it to the final cut. But in the end attempts to be faithful to what was the inspiration for it. </description>

      <description>I see. Valid points you are making though. It is quite possible that it allowed the general public to escape from the reality they lived in. Especially considering how such issues were still relevant and present during that time period. Perhaps through the power of cinema it could also be used as a means to convert and portray the issues at hand to those who did not fully grasp the issues in the world. </description>

      <description>Perhaps his novel is called mordant due to the sarcastic humor and irony it may present. It's hard to describe for be exact in what sense. Perhaps to the critical acclaim or response it received from such a savage topic. </description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=612308</guid>
      <description>Well to address right off the bat, race is a major factor in both adaptions. Standard relationships between whites and blacks can be seen in the films first act when Chick is at home with his family and how his father interacts and speaks to their servants. Another comparison comes from the first encounter between Lucas and chick when lucas brings him to his home. In the film adaptation chick becomes upset and angry due to the fact Lucas refused to accept his money since he brought him as a guest. Although within the novel this was not present. </description>

      <description>There are a variety of reasons for box office failure. For one it is possible audiences were unsure to see the film due to the sensitive issues the film presented such as racism. Especially in relation to parts within the country that were still considered primarily racist, so as a result would of initially have negative reaction to the  film. </description>

      <description>I absolutely agree. Racism is the message that the movie is visualizing through message picture. Through the different shots and imagery presented within the film adaptation. That's why films such as this work because it dwells into the world itself and the issues such as racism one may face within that era. </description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=612248</guid>
      <description>Intruder in the Dust is without a doubt a brilliant and well crafted film. As for why it is called the best movie ever there are a variety of reasons to elaborate on. Films such as this one work on so many levers because it is actually about something. It dives into the world itself . Dealing with issues that were relevant to the time period. Also camera techniques used throughout the film were just astounding. Especially in the beginning of the film when Lucas is being escorted out the car and you see that shot of everyone looking. Plus near the end of the film when all the twins folk walk away when realizing Lucas did I not commit the crime. Plus the quest for justice in such a racial situation resonated quite well . </description>

      <description>Yeah exactly. Through his private investigation work he develops certain styles that provide a strong identity to his character . His knowledge provides him advantages in order to overcome certain obstacles and situations. All of which though his own understanding .</description>

      <description>Shamus can be interpreted as a private investigator. Here it can be used in order to identity and provide better insight into characters in the film such as Marlowe and investigations occurring in the film. </description>

      <description>As far as flashbacks go it depends on the direction and vision originally intended for it's adaptation. I know initially it was to slowly ease into the film making process. Not using flashabacks would of allowed a more direct form of storytelling . Flashbacks might have deteriorated certain elements of the film such as the mystery it provides to it's audience. </description>

      <description>Yes. I completely agree. Dialogue when usd properly can evoke emotions, desires and motivations among characters within the film. The same applies to th big sleep. As you mentioned regarding the flirting between Marlowe and Vivian is a brilliant use in the film </description>

      <description>When we go to the movies we are engaged in the movie going experience. Hanging on to the edge of our seat as we are drawn into the film with the suspense that comes into it as well. The same applies to the big Sleep. Which is where it succeeds. In terms of the mystery it provides through the duration of the film. How it is handled and the suspense that comes along with it which is quite brilliant. Surely elements such as these in the film draw audiences attention. </description>

      <description>When it comes to film and novel adaptations it is sometimes recognizable to see differences in character interpretations. And how changes can happen. The same can be said for Bogarts character. Bogart brings about an amusing and humorous type of personality as opposed to other adaptions. Even apparent in big Sleep with his interactions with others and using this to handle various situations,.</description>

      <description>Movies are not only a form of entertainment but they are an experience as well. The cinematography add's to that experience as a whole. Through it's usage of camera angles and lighting it broadens the overall experience by allowing us to better understand the characters actions and thoughts through the duration of the film </description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=588145</guid>
      <description>The whistle scene is a great example. You make a valid point. It is quite arguable. I always found music an important element due to the tone it could set and division it could make between mature scenes and comedic ones. The music itself is essentially a character in it's own form. </description>

      <description>Okay this is an interesting topic to go about. Music itself is instrumental, especially in regard to the type of film you are achieving to make. Music within film in a sense can often be seen as a character of the film itself. I say this in regard to how they mention it can fit the adventurous tone and adds great deal. Music helps identify certain moments in film whether in this case be romantic. At other times for more serious and mature music tones that come off as dramatic. Here it where it can be symbolic. </description>

      <description>Well that's the beauty of film. We as a movie going audience have our own way of perceiving and interpreting what certain scenes actually mean. I actually agree with Christina Perlongo and her comments. That's actually a really clever way of analyzing their use in the film. In order to better represent and visualize the detachment of characters and their roles. </description>

      <description>Oh that is a great example. I totally agree though, it would of been too graphic for it's intended target audience especially with a run time of nearly 140 minutes. Although I do find it strange to have left out a noticeable feature of the character the film itself was already R-rated. </description>

      <title>When Hollywood adapts a Faulkner Adaption</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56415?scroll_to=585337</guid>
      <description>Now these days it is quite common to find Hollywood take an approach on adapting a novel onto the big screen. Most noticeable include Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, Maze Runner,etc. At times there is some connection lost between the original novel and it's film adaptation. The same applies in a similar sense to adapting a Faulkner novel. This is in regard to the casting of it's characters. Studios hire well recognized actors and actresses to portray these characters. The style and role that particular actor/actress brings is often carried on over to the film. In some cases not being entirely faithful to the original character source and adapting an alternative version</description>

      <description>In a sense you can see the relationship between the film adaptation and novel. Within the film here we are given a taste of the main qualities and attributes of the novel. But it does not dwell into the various and extensive story details that the novel would provide. For example, the rape scene between Temple Drake and Popeye. In the novel scenes such as that were being presented and told into detail . Where as in the film alternative methods would be met to symbolize the scene rather than go into far detail. </description>

      <description>Well this actually falls back into play with the usage of film censorship. Within the novel, Temple Drake was kidnapped and raped by Popeye.At least in comparison to the novel itself, scenes such as that were elaborated and explained into great detail. Although these type of moments and scenes are found to be to dark for movie audiences and are merely captured through alternative methods such as emotion and other visuals. </description>

      <title>Due to censorship....</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=575234</guid>
      <description>Due to censorship it in a sense limited film makers in what could be shown in terms of actual events. Instead must deliver alternative solutions and methods to be used in order to visualize and tell the story ti it's targeted audience. In regard to Md. Waliour Rahman Saikat comment, that is a perfect comparison in regard to the rape of Temple and how it was not allowed to be shown within the actual film. Seeing as how movies embody facts of life and events we encounter, the issue of rape would require the use of censorship.Family and friends of different ages would be watching these scenes in the theater so it  would make for perhaps uncomfortable situations. </description>

      <title>Well looking back her character was originally not part of the story let alone having a major presence. </title>

      <description>Well looking back her character was originally not part of the story let alone having a major presence. Due to the fact that her character was the only female in a full male cast there was some initial concern. Attention drawn through her presence on screen would be maintained by matching her dialogue with the clipped speech used by the male actors. Allowing her to blend in and not have any male actors out shine her through the duration of the film. </description>

      <description>Well based on this it seems as though Hawks wished for Faulkner to focus primarily on the film making process.As mentioned Hawks wanted the story first and the character afterwards. Finally that is when him and Faulkner would focus on adding interesting elements to the film itself. This is understandable in the sense that it would of allowed Faulkner the opportunity to dive and focus into the basics of screenplay writing. Once obtaining good exposure, they could focus on the screenplay . Especially different elements including: structure,length,budget,etc.</description>

      <description>I agree with you regarding the Ghostbusters Reboot situation that occurred over the summer. In a way that can apply to recent DC Warner Brother Films such as Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad due to the heavy negative reception that was received by both films. As a result both films suffered from a 67-69% drop at the box office within their second weekend. Which looking back I can better see as to why writers are important in any film. Rare examples include Marvel Studios due to their expert management and leadership from Kevin Feige, excellent list of well known and praised actors and a phenomenal team of screen writers. In the era that we all live in now it all truly comes down to one thing....money. How much the film makes and what it spends heavily influence any of the three categories whether it be studio bosses, actors or writers. </description>

      <title>Let us remember that film is a business and a form of art.</title>

      <description>As I have learned recently, the history of film itself is a broad one. Don't get me wrong, I love it. I love everything about the moviegoing experience. But the business side to movies that is always important, is the money aspect to it. Box office results ,etc. These components are predetermined depending on studio bosses and the actors. Studio bosses are highly important due to the power they possess on and off the set. Through their involvement studio bosses bring in producers and directors which are critical in any film making process regardless. Personally an argument can be made that actors can rank just as high of importance as studio bosses. I say this mainly due to the marketing and promotion that goes into the film. They are the faces and stars of the film that is being released. In the time that we live it is common for studio's to promote the film just on the iconic actors and actresses alone. At the same time I say this due to the strength that an actor can produce on screen. Yes I am aware that a good script and good story are always important in any film. But even an actor depending on their level of performance can evoke the emotions that the story is supposed to provide and have it resonate well with it's intended target audience. Even if the story itself is good or bad. </description>
