1.1 film as an integration of “time arts (music/poem and literature/dance)” and “space arts (architecture/drawing/sculpture)”, updated our art system unprecedentedly
1.1.2 for the crowd, the charm of words is far less than visual imagery ( Craik and Tulving’s 1975 processing experiment)
2.1 Literature as an art of language, it has a request of abstract symbols. The acceptance to literature must bear the understanding, the selection, and the organization of words, such that literal/linguistic imagery can be evoked to individuals.
2.2 Literature is different from other forms of arts. While drama, music, photography, sculpture require attention for a period at the most impressive moments, literature takes the role of narration (of durable events especially).
3.1 films also narrate, and are in a better way.
3.2.1 Besides the intuitive interpretation of film narrative, a ten seconds film scene might need Balzac, Dumsa, Flaubert several pages to hundred pages to narrate.
3.2.2 Films provide richer informative connections than literature, such as a face, a voice, a gesture. Imagination build from 1-2 would be much richer from 0-1.
3.2.3 Thus, films are the crisis for literature.
4.1 Marquez and Voiceover [旁白]
4.2.1 One Hundred Years of Solitude: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”
4.2.2 Supplemental 01: Chronicle of a Death Foretold (the storyline and plot)
4.2.3 Supplemental 02: The Autumn of a Patriarch (the sentence structure and paragraph organization)
4.3 Frees literature from film (scenes).
4.3.1 Take the first paragraph of One Hundred Years of Solitude as an example, the past, present, and future are linked together simply in 26 words. Besides space and time的杂糅, there’s also a mixed emotion that varies among people. Such uncertainty elevated film-able reality to a space-time dimension that only exist in human minds and can only be expressed by language (前提：否认Wittgenstein指物定义的思想).
5.0 In today’s world of art, literature is like Eliza in My Fair Lady cannot defeat or even compare to films. Most people write plots to comply with the film's storyline, or simply use words to describe movie scenes. But we should not forget that there are such great narrative schemes that can express things beyond films. As Van Gogh’s painting to photography, as Marquez’s writing to films, we need human emotion and wisdom to narrate in a way the machines are not capable of.
6.0 Thus, “a curve full of errors shall be excused”.本来想take a note写下为什么我觉得Guggenheim的linear circulation is boring的 谁能想到偏题这么多...
