MIND MELD: Scientific Accuracy in Stories

2008-05-22 00:25:30 by JP in SF Signal
 
...render the facts and the feel of any field not their own; but due diligence followed by expert review goes a long, long way. That, and venturing no deeper into technicality than the story warrants. I once heard a biologist lament a book in which the writer took pains to describe an application of x-ray crystallography and got it wrong. The...

...render visible the original isolation and the willful, deliberate linking of the frames that allows the passage from one photogram to another, which also explains Bresson's insistently calling what he did cinématographe instead of cinéma : after all, he was writing with the articulate movement of fixed, still images. That's why I consider...

...render him sympathetic, even loveable. In this instance, the Tramp could have left his job forlorn and sweetly helpless, but he chooses instead to fight back By returning to that essential conflict between the dehumanizing setting of the industrialized labor force and the privations of a costly "freedom" from the workplace, Chaplin...

...render the presence of a "surveillance camera" invisible while bringing attention to the private life happening in front of our voyeur eyes. We can see what people do when nobody is looking at them, when they don't have to play a social role in front of someone else. A perspective also featured in the segments of Hou Hsiao-hsien's Three Times...

...render this story an absolute classic. First the scenery, the surreal, forested dunes of the Norfolk coast, the lonely villages and eerie Autumnal farmland should receive star billing. Of course this is helped by the terrific photography-washed out colour and a dreamy haziness lending weight to the already heavy atmosphere Secondly, the...

...render inconsequential separates a good adaptation from a bad one. Peter Jackson, for instance, never let Tolkiens goobledygook get in the way of sword fights and battles, trusting that an intelligent audience will absorb a new glossary in the experience. Lynch, writing his own script, fails badly. His efforts to explain are usually garbled,...
