PLN 2102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Warsaw Uprising, Claustrophobia, Authorial Intent
Document Summary
Based on true events, buts it"s a work of fiction after the fact. Claustrophobic, dragging on, they don"t make it out of the sewers. Sound: only certain scenes with splashing water, but other than that no sound. A place with no light, so they import lighting into the film. The light is coming from underneath, from flashlights in hands. Greek tragedy, you know you"re gonna die but you keep. Heroes tragic heroes pushing till the end. The woman were heroic, and the lieutenant. Sergeant records guy was not a hero. Towering over, makes the viewer feel intimidated. Places you in the group, put the viewer in the action. No idea how long they spend in the sewers: progressive: War time patriarchal times screenwriting (the text, verbal and dramatic, that inspires the film), editing, camerawork, lighting, color, sets, setting, sound, casting, acting, characterization, movement, time, pace, etc.
