  • Notas Sobre El Estilo El Último Entuerto Que Conviene Desfacer Es El Que Habla De King Como De Un Cineasta “Sin Estilo”

    Notas Sobre El Estilo El Último Entuerto Que Conviene Desfacer Es El Que Habla De King Como De Un Cineasta “Sin Estilo”

    Notas sobre el estilo El último entuerto que conviene desfacer es el que habla de King como de un cineasta “sin estilo”. Si por estilo se entiende llamar la atención sobre la cámara, forzar los ángulos, montar aparatosos encuadres y hacer notar el trabajo del director, King es, en efecto, un director sin estilo. Algunas de sus películas, como Deep Waters, adoptan además una forma visual aparentemente anodina, que puede pasar por impersonal si a la carencia de atractivos externos se une una extrema funcionalidad narrativa, como sucede en dos de sus obras fundamentales, I’d Climb the Highest Mountain y Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie. Un examen detallado de estas y otras películas revela la existencia de una personalidad cinematográfica muy acusada, aunque no llamativa ni evidente. Más que afanarse en la búsqueda de un estilo propio, King intentó desarrollar a lo largo de su carrera un lenguaje que se correspondiese, visual y narrativamente, con los modos de sus personajes, por lo general inteligentes y discretos, observadores y dinámicos, inconformistas y sensibles a los cambios que se producen en su entorno. Conforme avanzaba su obra, películas y personajes fueron haciéndose progresivamente más complejos, sin que King violentara por ello su estilo, cada vez más refinado y transparente, permeable a los avances técnicos (el sonido, el color, la pantalla ancha) pero no a las modas ni a retóricas pasajeras. Tal vez por ello, o por una fidelidad a su propia visión, las bases del estilo visual de King apenas experimentaron variaciones significativas a lo largo del tiempo, de hecho Tol’able David podría haberse rodado en 1951 y I’d Climb the Highest Mountain treinta años antes sin que el espectador hubiera notado el menor desajuste.

Scott Fitzgerald http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, 24 de septiembre de 1896 - Hollywood, California, 21 de diciembre de 1940), fue un novelista estadounidense de la «época del jazz». Su obra es el reflejo, desde una elevada óptica literaria, de los problemas de la juventud de su país en los años que siguieron a la Primera Guerra Mundial. En sus novelas expresa el desencanto de los privilegiados jóvenes de su generación que arrastraban su lasitud entre el jazz y la ginebra (A este lado del paraíso, 1920), en Europa en la Costa Azul (Suave es la noche, 1934), o en el fascinante decorado de las ciudades estadounidenses (El gran Gatsby, 1925). Su extraordinaria Suave es la noche, narra el ascenso y caída de Dick Diver, un joven psicoanalista, condicionado por Nicole, su mujer y su paciente. El eco doloroso de la hospitalización de su propia mujer, Zelda, diagnosticada esquizofrénica en 1932, es manifiesto. Este libro define el tono más denso y sombrío de su obra, perceptible en muchos escritos autobiográficos finales.

The United States were launched towards an upswing of economic prosperity, which translated into social and cultural changes. As the 1920’s began, these shifts became particularly important for the development of the new role of women in society. Empowerment, financial independence and sexual liberation were some of the objectives to achieve by a section of the female community. Along these lines and as a way of self-expression, ‘women embraced the new freedoms, cutting their hair, applying makeup, and tossing out dowdy fashions of the past for shorter skirts and slinkier more formfitting attire’ (Time-Life 11).

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the ad- vantages that you've had." He didn't say any more but we've always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that.
