  • Shakespeare's Humanizing Language in Films and TV Series
    Shakespeare's Humanizing Language in Films and TV Series Sarah Hatchuel, University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 Abstract If Harold Bloom presented Shakespeare, in a rather essentialist way, as the author who invented the Human, US television series project Shakespeare as a playwright who conveys a humanity in constant redefinition, reconstruction and reassertion. Shakespeare is not mobilized to define the Human in a fixed way, but rather contributes to an extension of what we consider human. In such science fiction series as Star Trek, Person of Interest or Westworld, Shakespeare's words become the signs through which machines and robots reveal that they are becoming human or rather that they had always already been human. This dialogue between Shakespeare and "post-human" series echoes that established in The Elephant Man filmed in 1980 by David Lynch, a director who has invested the fields of both cinema and television. Humanizing the Post-Human This essay explores scenes from films and television series in which Shakespeare's sixteenth- century language is appropriated by so-called "freaks" or post-human androids; it argues that Shakespeare's words contribute to constructing a humanizing perspective on what could first appear "alien." In a 1999 book entitled Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, Harold Bloom presents Shakespeare as the author who invented the "Human" through characters who thought aloud, reflected on their actions and revealed their psyches to us: Shakespeare would have engendered what we conceive as psychological inwardness and would thus have literally created the way we think about ourselves as humans and as subjective beings.

  • Popularization in Fiennes's Coriolanus
    Journal of Student Writing Number 35 Sight, Sound, and News: Popularization in Fiennes’s Coriolanus Tilly Jackson he genre of Shakespeare on film has caused much controversy over the years, with film critics and academics at once decrying it as “de- T volution of Shakespeare” (Boose and Burt 18) and applauding it as a “site for innovation in the style, substance, and practice of modern per- formance” (Worthen 2). Over the past 25 years or so, however, this genre has proven itself all the more controversial by popularization, the tech- nique of modernizing Shakespeare and casting movie stars instead of trained Shakespearean stage actors in an effort to break new ground with the centuries-old playtexts as well as bring the classic works to a larger, younger audience. This has been called the “Hollywoodization of Shake- speare in the 1990s” (Boose and Burt 8). Perhaps the most striking popu- larized film adaptations of Shakespeare’s works are the tragedies, recon- structed into sweeping epics with distinctly modern twists. Radical exam- ples include Baz Luhrmann’s media-filled William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Al Pacino’s theatre documentary, Looking for Richard (1996). Discussing such films in A Companion to Shakespeare’s Works, Mark Thornton Burnett remarks that [...] contemporary versions of the tragedies contemplate the burdens of textuality and meditate self-consciously upon their own existence. At the same time, they push at the boundaries of the Shakespearean, feeding from their immediate contexts and from each other in generically variegated, visually arresting, technically versatile, and media-fashioned realizations of the dramatic originals.

  • Larry Lasker
    LARRY LASKER Although I grew up with parents in the movie business, I always intended to make a career in medicine. After college I returned to work with the doctor I had worked for during summer vacations, but started spending more and more time hanging out at the American Film Institute, where my brother Albert (now Alex) was enrolled, attending seminars and screenings and crewing for student films, until the doctor finally suggested I seemed more interested in movies than medicine and maybe I should get that out of my system... I worked as a prop man for a while and then landed a job as a script reader with United Artists, a job my brother had vacated to write his first screenplay, and I read so many lousy scripts with fancy names attached to them I finally decided I could do at least as badly myself and quit after a year and a half to write one with my college friend Walter Parkes. I had seen a TV show about Stephen Hawking and was fascinated by the idea that one day he might figure out the unified field theory but, due to his condition, wouldn't be able to communicate it to anyone. This suggested he needed someone to mentor, who could understand him, and this in turn suggested the character of a troubled kid who was was too smart for his environment. When I was a reader, I learned that executives almost never read anything themselves, they read "coverage', the 2 or 3 pages we readers write to summarize scripts ‐‐ and even the 15‐ or 20‐page "treatments" writers submit for script proposals.

  • THE INNOCENTS Directed by Jack Clayton UK­US, 1961, 100 Mins, Cert 12A
    THE INNOCENTS Directed by Jack Clayton UK­US, 1961, 100 mins, Cert 12A Starring Deborah Kerr, Peter Wyngarde, Michael Redgrave Martin Stephens, Pamela Franklin Opening on 13 December 2013 at BFI Southbank, IFI Dublin, QFT Belfast & selected cinemas nationwide 24 October 2013 – The second of three films to be released by the BFI in cinemas nationwide as part of GOTHIC: The DarK Heart of Film is Jack Clayton’s 1961 feature The Innocents, now widely considered to be one of the greatest of all cinematic tales of terror. This celebrated adaptation of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw (1898) was scripted by William Archibald (whose play of the book had been on Broadway) and Truman Capote, with additional scenes and dialogue by John Mortimer. A brilliant exercise in psychological horror, The Innocents tells of an impressionable and repressed governess, Miss Giddens (Deborah Kerr), who agrees to tutor two orphaned children, Miles (Martin Stephens) and Flora (Pamela Franklin). On arrival at Bly House, she becomes convinced that the children are possessed by the perverse spirits of former governess Miss Jessel (Clytie Jessop) and her Heathcliff­like lover Quint (Peter Wyngarde), who both met with mysterious deaths. The sinister atmosphere of The Innocents is carefully created – not through shocK tactics – but through its cinematography, soundtrack, and decor: Freddie Francis’ beautiful CinemaScope photography, with its eerily indistinct long shots and mysterious manifestations at the edges of the frame; Georges Auric’s eVocative and spooky soundtrack; and the grand yet decaying Bly House, with spiders crawling from dilapidated statues, ants from the eyes of dolls, and rooms coVered in dust sheets.
