Comparing Mori And Memento The Nolan Brothers

370 Words2 Pages

There are several parallels between film and literature. The first parallel that I have chosen in continuity editing. The continuing editing in the literary form allows the writer to construct the story through sentences and changing paragraphs to give the reader a logical clear direction of how the story is growing and developing. In both “Memento Mori” and Memento the Nolan brothers did not use a continuity editing style. In both forms work they jumped into what at times seemed to be illogical and confusing ways for the reader and to the viewer. In the film version of Cather’s “Paul’s Case”, I believe that the filmmaker used the form of continuity editing throughout the film, allowing the user to visually be able to follow the story.

    Storytelling has been a part of people's’ lives since the beginning of time. It started with just verbal communication, then it was translated into written word, and now there hundreds of ways to tell those same stories. Movies and books, for example, are two very different ways to tell stories to an audience. A story can be a book, but not a movie or vice versa. Many books are made into movies, but lose major elements in translation.

I now have a better understanding of film in general and how it can move and transcend people of the society at a particular time when it can take them to a different world and make them forget about their worries. Just like German Expressionism inspired me, a budding filmmaker, this specific translation of cinema as craftmanship would go ahead to impact the absolute most essential filmmakers of the twentieth century, including Alfred Hitchcock, Werner Herzog, and Tim

    C.S Lewis said, “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become”. Literature is an appreciable and significant thing in society. However, some literature works happen to have some similarities or parallels in themes or characters with others. Two pieces of literature that do just that are Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and “The Wound Dresser” by Walt Whitman.

    There is a close relationship between literature and film and we can see that more and more films come from literature in recent years like Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet, Jane Eyre, a science fiction film named Arrival and so on. In fact, Jane Eyre is a popular story that a number of directors used it as adaption to a film and the 2011 version is the No.35 version of adaption. During to search with key words “Jane Eyre” “movie” and “adaption” on the Internet, I found the 1944 version and 2011 version have more comments. Most audience consider the 1944 version is the best adaption and more classical because this version is closer to the literature, showing the romantic, Gothic and depressed during the Victorian. However, the 2011 version is the newest version, it is with more details so that it can help audience to understand the mental activity of Jane and have more feeling of the actual environment Jane lived.

    How could a movie about a young woman learning to open her heart to the world and a satirical movie about world annihilation via nuclear bombs be similar? How are they different? Well, the story of Amelie, a french film made in 2001 and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and Dr. Strangelove, an American film made in 1962 and directed by Stanley Kubric, greatly exemplifies their differences and similarities in their production elements, such as the narrative, cinematography, editing, acting and sound. Despite being decades apart and in two different countries, these two films show exemplary use of the production elements in their own way that contrast, however there are some production elements that are in comparison.

  • Movie Adaptation To The Movie Industry

    BOOK-TO-MOVIE ADAPTATIONS The movie industry is a fast-growing business. Especially, since the release of Harry Potter Series and The Twilight Saga—both of which originated from two book series with the same titles—became a huge hit, adaptation is the new trend in the film industry. Not only does classic literature successfully make it to the big screen, but many contemporary novels published during the 21st century also have their film versions produced. Despite its thriving popularity, one common remark people usually give when it comes to adaptations is either “that is not how it happened in the book” or “the book is so much better than the movie.”

Yet there a small minority avidly protest against this official statement, claiming that this should not be a cause of celebration but instead, suspicion. In this essay I shall prove how believers ignore clear facts and logic that prove that there is no conspiracy. The theory relies on the fact that the United States would not be able to reach the moon and are desperate enough to fake it.

  • Judith Hayn's The Invention Of Hugo Cabret

    As I read The Invention of Hugo Cabret, I knew I had seen the film adaptation or at least part of it at some point, but I could not remember the details clearly. It was an odd sensation almost like deja vu as I read the story. Flashes from the film adaptation would strike me with a vague feeling of I know this story, but not so much as to spoil me enjoyment of the text. I partly believe one of the reasons I appreciated the book form is because it had a multimodal feel to it reminiscent of a moving picture or automaton. My largest takeaway was interplay of form with the content made for more opportunities for meaning making.

    Memento is a kind of movie that I have never seen before. The movie tells will be confused early on when they see this movie because Memento is presented as two different parts of scenes changing during the film: black and white scenes shown the scene in order and color scenes shown in reverse order. The two scenes meet at the end of the movie, as a cohesive narrative. The thriller film was directed by my favorite director Christopher Nolan who is a famous director who had success with Batman and The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005–2012), Inception (2010) and Interstellar (2014) .Everyone
