to films that <i>“have especially well-written scripts and which use complex and advanced psychology to communicate hidden narratives.”</i></p> <p>This analysis of the Gold Watch story in ‘Pulp Fiction’ I found quite interesting. While I don’t believe that everything Rob mentions here was actually deliberately placed by Tarantino in his screenplay, I do think that the idea of using subjective themes in filmmaking narrative is something which kick-fires some inspiration. Definitely something worth pondering when working on your next screenplay!</p> <p><a title="Collative Learning by Rob Ager" target="_blank" href="http://www.collativelearning.com/FILMS%20reviews%20BY%20ROB%20AGER.html"><a href="http://www.collativelearning.com" target="_blank">www.collativelearning.com</a></a></p>http://blog.jaypurcell.net/post/235521284http://blog.jaypurcell.net/post/235521284Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:29:07 -0800quentin tarantinopulp fictionreviewanalysisnarrativesubjectivesubconciousthemethematic<object id="flashObj" width="400" height="431" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/1813626064?isVid=1&publisherID=1564549380" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=43025562001&playerID=1813626064&domain=embed&" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/1813626064?isVid=1&publisherID=1564549380" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=43025562001&playerID=1813626064&domain=embed&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="400" height="431" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>John Mayer Releases Augmented Reality Music Video.</p>http://blog.jaypurcell.net/post/217541117http://blog.jaypurcell.net/post/217541117Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:56:04 -0700johnmayeraugmentedrealitymusicvideofirstexperimental. green screenhdwebwebsiteinteractive<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr7ujrBqEf1qzsmixo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>24h Berlin.
