The book shows these three language while the film doesn't describe it to you. Knowing this the viewer just to relate what they read in the book.

It is the harsh truth and I suppose some people didn't want to admit to it. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 22:29:34 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640961 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640961 I think it shows that the general American public hold Hollywood in a high regard. It is something that people dream of being a part of and only a select few ever make it there, but for Oxford, being a part of Hollywood is typical and mundane. The only redeeming quality is the great films produced.

But as you can know his passion for planes because know its himself by his writing style and his passion. Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:43:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=640957 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=640957 I would say Faulkner loves airplanes and it was something interesting at that time during the war. He did most of the book before he was interrupted. Therefore, the movie of airplanes was interesting at that time because there wasn't much movies or writing about airplanes out Fri, 16 Dec 2016 22:20:20 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640956 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640956 The film shows racist and would want the people to know. In additions it teaches everyone to find out the answer if the person is guilty or not. The boy makes a good decision to give everyone an equal chance to prove themselves of the action taken. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 22:14:45 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640955 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640955 I would believe that Beauchamp's would rather let the white people mean on themselves for killing a black person rather than saying he is innocent because if he said that people wouldn't believe him anyways and more people would have been killed. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 22:10:50 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640953 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56418?scroll_to=640953 This was the best movie because it shows the time of the past of how racist this country was. In addition, these events were real time. The white people always used the black people make them lower than what they are. Or it would always be the black person fault if there was no one else to blame. This film shows justice that it can't be the black man fault everytime. Good thing the boy's family saved him for his innocent. Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:40:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640952 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640952 Yea, agreed that the film was super dark maybe that's why the film was only 40 mins because there was no happy moments in it. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 22:01:53 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640951 I would say their lives was stuck but the boy try to change it and try to help other people that was getting their barn burned. The boy try to do things differently because his father was being dark and evil Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:59:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640949 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640949 I thought the film was ok because of Ab role. Other than that it can be boring because it predicted of what would happen. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:56:07 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640948 As agreed, Tommy Lee Jones's did a really good job as playing an dark evil character, because of what he went through. This negative behavior affected the people around him to be scared of him. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:53:08 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640947 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640947 Abner is view negative because of the negative effects that was on him during the Civil War. Therefore, he burn barns that effects his son thoughts. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:48:55 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640946 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=640946 Yea, it would be super interesting to go visit his home where he came up with such interesting idea to write about his novels. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:40:41 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640945 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640945 The film tries it best to capture different angle and perspective of the character. This takes them very long to do from all the different angles. But it tries it best to be similar to the novel. The film would be more confusing if it only showed one perspective then no one will really understand about the family. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:37:26 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640943 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640943 I agreed with GuanXing that Anse was the most selfish. He only cared about himself while making people close to him suffer and he didn't really care much about it Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:32:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640942 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640942 I would say Faulkner likes to write stuff around himself while adding a slight fiction to make the story more interesting but he usually write about big events that might happened to more other people Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:01:48 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=640941 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=640941 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:26:44 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640940 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640940 Black humor is absent in this film because it was very dark such as a taboo. Its not meant for us to be seen on screen because it can change how the person might react to the film making the film being rated lower. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:20:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640938 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640938 As I Lay Dying is one of William Faulkner most successful novel. It was a very hard book to convert because of the characters thoughts. Therefore, the film had to show split screen to match the writing the best it can. Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:00:02 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640936 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640936 It shows that he has a wide range of knowledge on various fields and subjects. Especially with rare books, it means the knowledge in those books are not common to everyone. It means only an exclusive handful of people know what secrets may lie in those books. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:08:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640935 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640935 In "As I Lay Dying" the novel and the film shows different perspective of the character view point. Every character plays a role in the movie and book. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:07:07 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640934 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640934 Tough and sophistication bring an air of mysteriousness for a role such as a private detective. Someone that is a difficult to figure out is more interesting. It makes them captivating and alluring; you can't help but want to get to know more about them. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:05:06 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640931 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640931 He is sarcastic, quick witted, and is very relatable. He is very down to earth and not superficial at all. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:55:32 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640930 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640930 The audience can view the movie in different perspective of the eye. But in the novel the writer can write what the characters think. Therefore, in the movie that can't be possible so it has to be view in body language and different perspective. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:52:29 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640929 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640929 I think it is to show that Marlow is more than just a detective. He is human just like all the other characters. Despite the bad rep that detectives get, he is still a gentlemen and is relatable. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:52:20 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640927 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640927 I will believe that it abandons the split screen because the movie wants to focus one point of view instead of many perspectives all the time. In addition, it can be tiring for the eye to keep looking at both screen thought out the whole movie. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:46:09 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=640926 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=640926 Yes, I agree with this. A name signifies the characters importance. It means that the reporter is more than a nameless face. By giving the reporter a name, it builds his character and gives emphasis to his purpose. Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:42:17 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640925 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56433?scroll_to=640925 In the movie "As I Lay Dying" this was an interesting movie because of its split screen it shows different perceptive of the character. There was many views and also a different timeline that made the movie interesting. Such as the screen shows one-half of the mother in bed while the other half of Jewel being outside. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:41:56 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640920 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640920 Verbal dialogue between the characters adds another layer of personality the roles that they are trying to portray. Although body language and facial expressions can convey many things, by adding a lot of verbal dialogue, you get a sense of their personality and wit. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:32:43 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640919 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640919 This was a famous scene in the movie, when she told him to put his lips together. Here you can see that there is a romance between two of them. She is flirting with him while making it not to easy for him to get her. This clip attracts the viewers attention if Bogart gets her or not. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:32:26 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640916 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640916 In a sense I agree with this. Flashblacks tend to give out extra information to the audience, but it can also be used to build anticipation for what's to come. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:25:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640915 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640915 It would make sense of Bacall and Bogart to have lust because Hollywood film must have romance in it. With a twist of Bogart falling for the general daughter, which is interesting to the audience. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:25:22 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640914 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640914 I think his personality and demeanor attribute to Bogart's appeal. The way he interacted with the other women and his wit is very alluring. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:23:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640913 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640913 I would believe that no one agrees that the film was puzzling because they like how the film was made. With the actors being romantic and Bogart breaks his image of being of detective because its something new that people usually don't see in the film. People enjoy the film so the film stays popular. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:22:33 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640911 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640911 I found this very interesting too. I felt that Bacall fit into role really well. Her expressions and her demeanor did not show that she was actually untrained as an actor. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:18:51 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640910 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640910 Bogart's character was different because he breaks the character of being an detective. He become more flirty to the ladies with changing is voice also his body language Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:17:11 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=640909 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56416?scroll_to=640909 I also believe that the rich are losers such as Mr.Johnson because they usually have the most problems in the story and novel also they have more to lose. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:12:26 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640908 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640908 Sometimes it all depends on perspective. Everyone thought "all her best scenes were left out except one," but to the director, he might have viewed it to be the most fitting scenes for her role. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:12:10 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640907 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56417?scroll_to=640907 Cryptic, thrilling, suspenseful Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:08:51 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=640906 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=640906 It means that the film is only an adaptation and the director's interpretation of the novel. The scenes follow the plot in the novel, but there are some instances and moments that is very difficult to portray in a film. Moreover, the director's interpretation is different than how someone else would interpret it when they read it. By reading the novel, your interpretation is firsthand, but by watching the film, you are viewing the director's interpretation. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:04:45 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=640905 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=640905 I believe that due to censorship the film can only go so far in showing the action of a rape seen because it was not allowed. Therefore, the movie allows the viewer to fill in the blank of what happen. Novels doesn't have much rule so they can write anything they want. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:00:49 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=640904 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56414?scroll_to=640904 A women who is a Southern Belle was Temple Drake. Southern Belle's are usually seen as a trophy who mostly have everything, but one day she met a guy name Popeye who was in a gang and changed her. Therefore, she lost her image of being a Southern Belle. Sun, 18 Dec 2016 07:14:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=640901 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=640901 I believe that Hollywood film much have three things in it, which is action, entertainment and romance. Without these category people might not be as interested. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 19:39:15 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=640899 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56412?scroll_to=640899 I agree with, Shreya. I would believe that Hawks wanted Faulkner to do well with the screen writing but Faulker didnt have much experience in that. Therefore Hawks helped Faulkner with that by telling him to try it out without flashback to keep his mind flowing. In addition the film has deadline to meet. Sat, 17 Dec 2016 08:31:59 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=640608 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=640608 I believe that Studios wouldn’t want to make the writer successful because they as on the lower rank, such as Studios Bosses, actors and writers. Studios bosses would also be greedy so they can keep maximum profit for themselves. Therefore, it’s unfair to the writer. If the writer isn’t has famous the bosses can pay for the script on the lower end of the cost rather than paying an high expense. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 01:37:07 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=640601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=640601 This happens because the Studios bosses have the money to own many theaters so viewers can watch the movie. In addition, the bosses pay off the actors and writers so it would make movie for them to be first rank. The next one would be actors because they are famous and they will play in the movie when people watch them. Lastly would be the writer because the studios bosses take part of the script and redesign it also giving credit to the writer but has a contract to make the movie how the bosses please even if it doesn’t relate to the novel much. Fri, 16 Dec 2016 01:26:53 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=640599 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56411?scroll_to=640599 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 01:16:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620821 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56428?scroll_to=620821 I would believe that Faulkner called the film honest because even though the novel and the movie were different there were similar points that were made across of a despondent mood during WWI. People expressing themselves as they aren’t happy the way they are and wanted something more having hope and being free. The film did what it could to express the emotion even though it wasn’t the same as the novel because of the censorship problems that they have to deal with.
