I was thinking about this the other day - I haven't turned on my television set in three months. <BR/><BR/>This is bad. I need to start checking out vids again.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-65677844798440333942009-02-08T08:19:00.000+01:002009-02-08T08:19:00.000+01:00Amie, I think there are movies that take advantage...Amie, I think there are movies that take advantage of the staticy sound of film, which would be what the crack in the mirror sounds like, I presume. But sound in general introduces a, well, inter-subjective element - the sound that triangulates between the diagetic and the audience - that no one seems to think is weird. Which is weird! I have read a number of accounts of the audiences, watching the first films, growing paniced at the vision of, say, a train coming towards them on the screen - but I have never read about what the audience thought of the first sound tracks. Of course, the audience was used to theatrical music, but the sound track has never quite been like the same thing. Although I have a very lose grasp of the history, here.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-81767237102413076952009-02-08T08:10:00.000+01:002009-02-08T08:10:00.000+01:00I am surprised there is no allusion to the fish in...I am surprised there is no allusion to the fish in the mirror.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-35169912955655013632009-02-08T03:55:00.000+01:002009-02-08T03:55:00.000+01:00Hmm, striking that the Nabokov quote would mention...Hmm, striking that the Nabokov quote would mention a cinema screen. How does a novel as mirror walking down the street track sounds - as well as images? And what does it say about realistic art - all the way from Stendhal ( who did also write about music and opera ) to our media saturated "real world" today? To say nothing of the cracks in the mirror, can you hear them?<BR/><BR/>AmieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-88603065751624300792009-02-08T00:25:00.000+01:002009-02-08T00:25:00.000+01:00That's gorgeous.That's gorgeous.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-36276585504388342252009-02-07T22:45:00.000+01:002009-02-07T22:45:00.000+01:00I very much like Nabokov's riff on that Stendhal p...I very much like Nabokov's riff on that Stendhal phrase in the opening chapter of <EM>The Gift</EM>:<BR/><BR/>"As he crossed toward the pharmacy at the corner he involuntarily turned his head because of a burst of light that had ricocheted from his temple, and saw, with that quick smile with which we greet a rainbow or a rose, a blindingly white parallelogram of sky being unloaded from the van — a dresser with mirror across which, as across a cinema screen, passed a flawlessly clear reflection of boughs sliding and swaying not arboreally, but with a human vacillation, produced by the nature of those who were carrying this sky, these boughs, this gliding façade."Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076282795281141420noreply@blogger.com
