Because we are studying the unique capabilities of both film and literature, we need to discuss how film is able to portray certain archetypes in both character and story. To do this, consider film's ability to depict the character's attributes, the film's settings, and the story's plot developments. We can discuss Memento adapted from its story as a test case for this thread, as well as Fight Club in the background adaptation material assigned for this week to study.
How does a film's ability to capture a character compare to other visual art forms, such as still photography, sculpture, dance, or painting?
