ARLT 100g Lecture 31: Filmic Adaptations
Document Summary
Never a strict translation (not the goal) Does not convert the novel at all (filmist) Such destruction in filmic adaptation is inevitable. It"s a new author in his or her own right. Adaptors in other words are raiders, they don"t cpoy, they steal what they want and leave the rest. Close to intertextuality of all art, kind of appropriate that would appear to be casual. I. e. mean girls, once upon a time. Try to come as close to the original using different mediums of cinema to bring out the original. Adaptation that seeks to deploy full power of cinematic techniques both seeks to faithful to material and full transformation. Novel = any amount of time to read, it"s portable. 2 hours is the normal or standard time a movie has to be. You can read a novel up to a day, month, year.
