When I write,I try to capture in words, the half etched thoughts, the unformed silences ,the vaguely understood swirl of emotions all entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic images that flash and disappear.
When I visualize, I try to capture,in images this time, those half etched thoughts, those unformed silences,those vaguely understood swirls of emotions entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic words that flash and disappear.
An image, that has never been a word before except vaguely, while it was evolving in the mind, or, a word that has been an image only in the same conditions, stands by itself as the first representation of a reality(or fantasy) that has till then seen only the world of the mind from which it evolved.It is individualistic, unique and beyond judgement , like a new born baby.
But what happens when someone tries to capture, reinterpret or redefine,through the medium of cinema, something that exists from before,and not just exists, …show more content…
Are the witches merely mouthpieces of fate or do they have any real power to be the agents of change?Similarly,are film adaptations of literary texts merely ‘adaptations’ or mouthpieces of the original,to be judged similarly or are they works of art in their own right,influenced by but also influencing streams of thought around them?
Whose creation is an ‘adaptation’ then? Evolving from a history that has its lines merging with and also originating from movements in literature,art and cinema,a history reshaped every time a new reading, another interpretation or a different adaptation is brought out,a filmic adaptation cannot be looked at in isolation.But,inspite of the heritage it carries,it is yet,a new being,that speaks its own language.And I am learning to listen to that
