I found tonight’s recitation to be very intriguing. The contrast of how film and literature each exhibit a point of view was a very interesting concept to analyze.\u00c2\u00a0 I had never really considered the differences each struggle with until tonight.<\/p>\n
I was disappointed that there was not a discussion about the adaptation of books to films. This seems like it should have been an integral part of the lecture. A juxtaposition of how a book like Fight Club \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with such a complex point of view and ambiguous focalyzer<\/em> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c gets adapted to film would be interesting to analyze under the guise of tonight\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lecture. While a book may take four pages to explain the way a scene looks or a character feels, a film has the ability to do this instantaneously. The part of Fight Club, for instance, where Edward Norton realizes that he is Brad Pitt, (which takes several pages to explain) is done in seconds in the film.<\/p>\n I found the interaction between subjectivity and point of view to be extremely provocative. In the philosophical sense, subjectivity is of supreme importance in understanding different perspectives (ontological subjectivity, axiological subjectivity etc.). Likewise, in literature and film, only through acknowledging a character\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s outlook \u00e2\u20ac\u201c done through the visual<\/em> or mental<\/em> understanding of their sense of being<\/em> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c can their role be interpreted purely.<\/p>\n Additionally, I feel compelled to comment on the Columbus clip that was shown. Did anyone else notice how when he first reached land, Columbus knew he had discovered the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153new world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d? Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Chris think he was in India (hence, Indians)?\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I found tonight’s recitation to be very intriguing.
