The BBC adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' [video-essay presentation]
มุมมอง 748วันที่ผ่านมา
This is another old presentation that I did at University during my BA in English. This was during the pandemic, when we had remote classes. I was due to introduce the BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' in class (as the presenter for the first class), but as I could not present it live, I converted it into a video to share online. Five years later I decided to publicly share ...

'Somewhere in Time' (1980 dir. Jeannot Szwarc) - [Self-made trailer]
มุมมอง 27K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
I decided to try and make a film trailer of 'Somewhere in Time'. This trailer is intended to be done in a classic style, conveying a little of the story (mostly its Exposition and Rising Action - building to its Climax), without giving away too much of the main story. The music is also particularly good, hence the highlighting of John Barry as the composer. Enjoy!

Perhaps you might like some of my other literature videos (there is a playlist). I made quite a few presentations on other literary topics, which could also be made into videos, but I would have to try and remember what the commentary was for each slide and write a script. Anyway, for now, I currently have one on Whinnie-The-Pooh that I uploaded the same day as this. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment.

    I just noticed that at 5:10 in the background of the restaurant scene from the movie, you can see two people wearing modern-day face masks. The movie was filmed in the summer of 2022. So maybe this is one of those errors of things you see in the background. Maybe I'll go back and see if it's in the movie. But other than this, the settings were very convincing. Maybe they removed this in the actual final dit of the film.

      I thought that the date had merely been postponed for Chapter Two. So far, the release date is unknown. But maybe this is already old news. Obviously, the second film is already good to go. It's just a matter of which platform to screen it on. I think the idea was to give more people a chance to see Chapter 1 first. So maybe it will need to screen on HBO (or somewhere) before Chapter 2 hits the big screen.

Decades later I worked in an old factory (in Cheddar) making by machine and by hand, all types of paper. i saw every process and in particular, the women who at great speed would examine every piece for quality. I learned to know exactly what should be there in every sheet.

    I read this story back in high school for my grade 10 SicFi English class. The teacher read the whole thing out loud, and at the end, he asked me why I was crying. I told him, "Because nothing terrible happened." I loved the Muppets growing up, and the whole story, I was so sure something terrible would happen, like Kermit killing everyone, but it never did. And I was so happy I was crying. This story is so beautiful, and a lot of that is that it plays against every trope you'd usually find in an AI story like this. It isn't warning people against an apocalyptic future. It just wants to make people happy.

In 5 years of studying literature at University, I noticed that almost every story was quite dark and depressing. So this is why I warmed instantly to this text. I also decided to write my MA thesis about a very positive literary topic, while everyone else had trauma topics and so on. Kind Thanks 😊

      Yes. Well, the 'booster' phrase is ubiquitous now. But it does feel like the word has been chosen carefully for its positive connotations. The phrase I find odd is 'jab'. I never found getting 'jabbed' as very appealing. But they don't have to say it now as they can say 'booster' instead (at least to those already 'jabbed' with the first vaccine).

    In the Goon Show (gone but not forgotten), there was a dreaded disease known as The Lurgi. One of the symptoms was to scream 'Yakka-Boo!' Having consulted one of the government scientists, possibly, Dr.Strabismus (whom God preserve) of Utrecht, it is possible that the Johnson variant, causes the misfortunate victims, not only to tell untruths but also to repeat incessantly, the two words 'get' and 'boosted''. Scientists are working feverishly (ha ha) on a cure before the entire country is overrun with people saying "get" and "boosted", instead of such decent appellations as "how d'you do?" and otherwise, the usual observations on the weather and the state of the roads.

I too, feel uncomfortable with non-animated talking creatures; I cannot forget the talking camel in 'Road to Morocco'.
