Homework?

Elvie, Wanna trade?

I’ll write your David Fincher report, if you create a 150 page economic plan for 1764 Spain. Deal?

not too subtle…

NUH-UH!!!!!

i just need links as i cant seem to find a shred of information its making me sick

i thought this would be a good idea

He uses shadows.

I know exactly how you feel, Elvie…

How about you use the best three sources out there….the films!

And Drew… you can write my report if you want ;) but i don’t think i will trade :s xoxox

Hehe

Is my assignment not the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard? Luckily I’m making progress and I’ll finish it by Monday (when its due).

It will help you a lot in case that you need to travel through time and have to maintain your economic welfare in Spain 1764.

Are you for real, Drew?

well atleast you will finish it…mine i cant even seem to start never mind end xoxox

My economic welfare? The whole country’s economic welfare!

Honestly Spain made some of the stupidest decisions ever in the 16th-18th centuries.

ive watched the films i just cant seem to conect with them

Then why are you writing an essay on them?

because i have to :s

its more so the question…ive tried braking it down…its just confusing plus i cant find any information xoxox

All three protagonists are the mouse in a cat and mouse game.

All three take place mostly at night, and are filmed using a dark color scheme.

To those wondering if film school is a good idea…

The references to Dante´s “Purgatorio” in “Se7en” and “The Most Dangerous Game” in “Zodiac” are also of importance. But seriously, searching for informations online isn´t that difficult.

To me it seems like the best thing to do would be to just keep watching the films, and form your own opinions. :P

….

The answer is in the question?

—DiB

Why via the cinematography and through vulnerable male characters? Why not via editing and through sound design? Via costuming and through digital effects? Via marketing campaigns and through casting decisions? Make-up and stunts?

In any case, I think the only viable answer can be “With great difficulty”.

Also your school sucks.

“To me it seems like the best thing to do would be to just keep watching the films, and form your own opinions.”
Correct answer. The only proof you’re going to find is in the films themselves. Seriously, did you come up with this topic on your own or did someone actually assign something this specific because It sounds like a very personal thesis. And frankly, when you get down to it, the films are all quite different. I don’t know if I’d state that they all depict contemporary society as hell on earth.

Anyways, focus on the continuity fragmentation of physical space in the foot-chase scene in SE7EN (note Apursansar’s still above), then patterns of audience/character entrapment through the recursive meta-Hollywood narrative structure of THE GAME, and finally the theater-manager’s basement scene in ZODIAC as the ultimate subjective distortion of a protagonist’s trust in the world (the situation is harmless, yet he CAN NOT believe it nor perceive it to be so). All of these can open discussion of plenty of examples when visual style conveys the pressures upon Fincher’s male protagonists.

Voila. Unless that’s all wrong.

Wait. I’m confused: …and your teacher didn’t have you write about ALIEN 3?

Haha. The eleven-month WTF.

I’m curious as to how this essay came out.
