...simply a diluted version of the novel. Ironically, it is the film’s devotion to the text that causes it to miss the text’s most crucial aspect: self-reflexivity. With creative changes, Wright could have retained that medium-specific main point. Why, for instance, didn??t he envision Briony as a budding film director or screenwriter? While this change would have altered the novel’s plot, it would have faithfully realized McEwan’s greatest postmodern aim. “Atonement” fails as a film adaptation by ignoring...
...with the founding of the A.R.T. by Brustein, who had also founded the Yale Repertory Theatre. Brustein’s exodus was the reverse of Baker’s. “My time was up at Yale,” he recalls. But there was one problem: Brustein didn??t want the A.R.T. to be a Harvard organization.“He came in as if he didn??t want to be a part of Harvard,” Senelick says. “Brustein wanted to run the A.R.T. like his own little fiefdom...
...girl,” while a close friend (and fellow English concentrator) disdainfully referred to Wright’s interpretation as “Brontë-esque.” Though we expressed it differently, we all had the same essential problem with the film—it just didn??t feel like the book. With novels like “Pride and Prejudice,” that are returned to again and again, the imagined world becomes increasingly concrete with each reading. Enduring Wright’s emotional crescendos and Knightley’s excessive giggling...
...Gansey’s favorite move. Or to see Drew Housman and Jeremy Lin confidently work the ball around the Wolverines’ zone D waiting for the open look.Thanks to Amaker, Beilein had the size and speed, the outright skill, at his disposal to beat Harvard. But he didn??t exploit that fully because he’s trying to teach a system to a very young Michigan squad that he thinks will work in the long term. And he’ll recruit players that suit that style. The question is: are Amaker?...
...Second Amendment is to protect the people from their own government. Our country is the oldest constitutional democracy, and one of the reasons is the Second Amendment. Look at cities like Washington, D.C. that has forbidden guns, or look at the Virginia Tech shooting, in which the killer didn??t abide by the rule not to carry a gun. These places become playgrounds for criminals. Why do you think D.C. has such a high murder rate? The only people who have guns are criminals. They can always get them. When you take away the right to bear arms...
