Emily Ludwig wrote a new blog post Warmth and Quiet Contemplation in Leave No Trace in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 3 months ago

The film Leave No Trace felt warm and inviting throughout, despite tackling difficult issues almost constantly, and taking place in a wet and cold environment. I believe this almost cozy atmosphere is due in part […]
Brianna Forgione wrote a new blog post Fragile but still Strong in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 4 months ago

Leave No Trace is about the relationship between a girl and her father. It’s a patient movie and a thorough one. It takes its time unveiling the details of their relationship and their lives. The father, (Ben […]

I went into this film never even having heard of it, and I finished the film thoroughly enjoying it. Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner), is a wildlife conservation officer soon turned into a criminal investigator in a […]
Kelsey Kwandrans wrote a new blog post Losing a Voice in The Razor’s Edge (1984) in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 5 months ago

While I was not necessarily hoping for a voice-over to represent the narrator, a possibility we discussed in class, I’ll admit my surprise at hearing that the whole character of the narrator was not included in t […]
Jessica Drechsler wrote a new blog post The Inauthentic Portrayal of Larry in The Razors Edge in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 5 months ago

The 1984 film adaptation of the Somerset Maugham’s novel “The Razors Edge” starring Bill Murray was considered to be a massive failure by both critic and audience alike. The budget for the film was 12 million […]
Aileen Mack wrote a new blog post What Happened to Larry? in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 5 months ago

As we discussed in class, film adaptations are a tricky business. The Razor’s Edge proved to be an especially difficult adaptation as the novel’s characters are all filtered through the mind of the narrator, who […]
Patrick Alexander edited the blog post If a Tree Falls in the Woods… in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 6 months ago

Labels like “hero” or “villain” are things that can only be given to someone by someone else, and are therefore based on outsider’s perceptions of those people. Novels like Deliverance or movies like Bad Day at B […]
