Importance of Being Earnest”: Text and Film Comparison The most memorable and telling line of Oscar Wilde’s play "The Importance of Being Earnest" is perhaps its last‚ as Jack Worthing gleefully announces‚ "I’ve now realized for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest" (Wilde 313). The "vital importance" of this line‚ and its significance‚ constitutes the core difference between the play and Oliver Parker’s film adaptation. As with any film adaptation‚ there are various subtle

Life is cyclical. It has no beginning‚ no end‚ just a long list of causes and effects‚ repeating patterns and cycles as it stretches through time. Isabel Allende‚ in the novel The House of the Spirits demonstrates how history repeats itself and that everything is connected through the repetition of events‚ the inter-generational storyline and the ending of cycles. Throughout the novel‚ events‚ motifs‚ and characteristics are mirrored‚ bringing attention to the cyclic nature of the novel‚ as well

The Polanski film Death and the Maiden is a wonderful and intelligent interpretation of Ariel Dorfman’s human rights problem play. Polanski has produced‚ in this film‚ an exceptional piece of direction‚ in which his own personal‚ emotional input is evident. The main theme of the play is an extremely personal one for both playwright (and scriptwriter) and director. Both Dorfman and Polanski have had to face and flee the horrors of dictatorship and human rights violations: Dorfman in Chile‚ under General

The production of Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward was performed by The Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film and directed by Virginia Smith. I attended the performance on March 2nd‚ 2016 at 7:30 pm. Overall‚ I thought this play was very interesting and kept me intrigued the whole time. I would say that I don’t really have a type of production that I would attend‚ but now seeing this production I would most likely go see it again to see how other organizations would vary it.

When an individual reads a book and then sees the movie that is based on the book‚ there is bound to be many differences between the two. Sometimes there are elements that are present in the book that have a tendency to get lost in the production and directing of a movie. At other times‚ the movie adds elements that are not originally in the book. In Walter Mosley’s book‚ “Devil in a Blue Dress‚” and the movie of the same name share some similar literary elements. However‚ there are several vital

The book the kite runner is a story of betrayal and redemption. This story is both a book and a movie if I had to rate the book it would be 5 out of 5 stars because it tell you the whole story and gives a lot of details. If I had to rate the movie‚ it would be 2 out of 5 stars because it followed the story in the beginning but left out the most important parts. I wish the movie should have had the attempted suicide scene‚ which I feel was one of the most important parts because it shows how bad things

This seems a fundamental flaw of the film. In his dedication‚ Lewis makes clear that TLWW is a fairy tale. I feel the movie almost tries to eliminate the magic of it. In an interview‚ the movie’s director Andrew Adamson says “I want it to feel real and for kids today to actually relate to

The plot must be closely looked upon as well as the actors and their actions. Antigone and A doll’s house are very similar stories as they both tragic stories of betrayal and mind games. In Antigone‚ King Creon makes a statewide decree stating that Polynices‚ the traitor is not to receive a formal burial and is left to rot in the open‚ but his sister

“The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.” Even though the novel The Hunger Games can be interpreted as entertainment in both the book and novel‚ the novel is to inform‚ and movie is to entertain. This is because in the first few chapters all the author talks about is how bad‚ sad and how the government is being ruined‚ how sad‚ informing the audience what the government can become. In the movie it doesn’t really express how bad the government is and
