The Recent Realist is Journalist
Published (2010-01-03 16:35:00)
When story ideas are culled from news headlines and a good team of scriptwriters, directors, producers, can pull together a movie that creates a generalized meaning - such high quality Realist movies then tell actual policy makers how to change news headlines. In short, without fictional insights we viewers would not know what to look for in the daily news. 4 recents: - State of Play, Body of Lies, Rendition, Pride and Glory.

Children of Men. The movie was vaguely unsatisfying, so I read the book. Big mistake. Dune, and Children of Dune, by SciFi Channel. The cast who made these miniseries has the books memorized. It used to be dogma that books are better than movies...still true?

No I disagree. While the financial aspects may be of some consideration for some, for others it's apparently not. Just how much the trends originate and are purposely fostered is speculation that could never be quantified- Like, to just what extent is it that Detroit makes and by habitual pattern sells to us the same gas guzzler, or just how much by the public's choice does something like the recent untimely SUV trend get started,...

Most modern histories of the motion picture say that the first feature-length films in the U.S. and U.K. were films of four or more reels released in 1912.

Rainey's African Hunt (6 reels, 14 Apr 1912) Oliver Twist (5 reels, 20 May 1912) The Alaska-Siberian Expedition (6 reels, 20 May 1912) Richard III (5 reels, 15 Oct 1912)...

Logan's Run - the book is *beep* the film is Da Bomb.
Contact - this is tough, because the novel is so phenomenal, but the film tightens up a few threads, and dramatically improves the ending by making Ellie the only traveler on The Machine, which increases the ambiguity of the ending.

Yes, film narrative is closer to a short story than to a novel, and anyone adapting a novel, for anything less than a mini-series, must condense plot, and remove characters. This doesn't mean that it's less complex, or that the characters are any less three-dimensional, just that the structure is different.
As for films "feeling" like novels, there are many examples, but my favorites include...

Plot is what you actually see on the screen, story is all the events that unfold both off- and on-screen. At least according to neo-formalists, I think.
