i'm out of here for the night

scene 1
snow on the ground outside
a gritty street
a mirror on a wall
a door to the right
dimly lit room

a figure enters
leaves the room
and re-enters after a few seconds donning some sort of head gear, spouting
antennas and colored googles.
a propeller on top.

slowly at first, music can be heard
the volume increases
until the space is filled with sound
the jim morrision/doors track from Apacolypse Now

he gazes in the mirror with an expression of satisfaction
ready to take on battle.

he takes a seat, which wobbles under his wieght
in front of him is a
keyboard and monitor, a Titanium 10000 6800ghz machine
a 7/11 Big Gulp
digital surround sound Maguisum speakers line the walls on both sides


with a single finger he slowly searches the keyboard

...
most film is historically based on literature
there are many great films that are not.
great or ground breaking cinema can operate completely independent from
literature.

Except that no one teaches your statement. Story structure came before
film.
Film has always drawn on literature, whether it's experimental or
mainstreat.
And in case you didn't notice, we discussing a specific film here, so I
have no
idea what you're all worked up about. Try following the thread next time.
