What is the film equivalent of this book?
Probably something from the 50s, 60s Baguette Land
nothing, it's too good for something like film to contain or transpire
>>25216261This. Film hasn’t produced something that reaches this level of craft. They made an adaptation in the 60s, but I shan’t be watching it. Ever.
>>25216208As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty
>>25216355Any scenes involving crossdressing fantasies or men throwing tins of biscuits at each other?
>>25216366Nta but there’s nothing quite like Ulysses in film so >>25216355 is talking crazy. It’s similar in the way it documents everyday life in a very unorthodox manner. But that’s about it.
>>25216208Seinfeld
>>25216417Of course a redditor would hate Seinfeld and Joyce
>>25216417>only one thing of his made me feelcongrats on being a lifeless automaton. are most reddiors this smug about their own emotional impotence?
>>25216420>WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH BUCK MULLIGAN? WHY IS HE SO PLUMP?
>>25216740>(Bloom, broken, closely veiled for the sacrifice, sobs, his face to the earth. The passing bell is heard. Darkshawled figures of the circumcised, in sackcloth and ashes, stand by the wailing wall. M. Shulomowitz, Joseph Goldwater…. ….the Reverend Leopold Abramovitz, Chazen. With swaying arms they wail in pneuma over the recreant Bloom.)>THE CIRCUMCISED: (In a dark guttural chant as they cast dead sea fruit upon him, no flowers) Shema Israel Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad.This is basically a scene from Seinfeld
>>25216446Ulysses is more about thinking than feeling
>>25216930It’s a perfect balance of the two actually, there are some moments in the book that you definitely FEEL. Joyce’s prose reinforces this. But the end of Circe and Ithaca are just so beautiful and poignant they bring a tear to this faggots eye.
cringe compilation videos of autists arguing
>>25216980Only some of the Stephen chapters, Cylcops and Eumeaus (sort of) has autistic arguing.
>>25216981he spergs a little in oxen of the sun too
>>25216987Remind me, I haven’t read it in a while, I love oxen of the sun but that chapter is quite a blur and not without reason. I know Stephen’s “friends” are there, Buck too, so he’s bound to be seething at something. Oh there’s also that debate on childbirth and abortion I believe.
>>25217012yeah the debate about abortion is what I'm talking about, he also says some borderline incomprehensible shit about eve and mary shortly after
>>25216317It's a more than decent adaptation>>25216261Bleh. The 1967 film was a near perfect adaptation of Circe and Penelope

>>25216417it's not a lie, if you believe it
>>25217023>look guys movies can adapt the girly chapters really well!
>>25217981Those were the hardest to adapt though
>>25216930you're projecting
>>25218004It's most commonly celebrated on the grounds of its technique, experimentation, etc. That's just a fact. Because every honest person freely admits it's difficult to understand and that much of it makes no sense to them, unless they're trying to win an internet argument. It's always funny when the overly cerebral anti-plot crowd realizes the untenability of their aesthetic position and pretends like they actually placed prime importance on emotion all along.
>>25216208something by wes anderson
>>25218060so you are projecting
>>25218060>It's always funny when the overly cerebral anti-plot crowd realizes the untenability of their aesthetic position and pretends like they actually placed prime importance on emotion all along.I too loved chapter 5 of Portrait and chapters 7, 9 and 12 of Ulysses, excellent portrayals of self-indulgent debatebros

>>25218109Projecting what exactly?
>>25218173you're basing what you believe what the book "is" based off reception, which is a very bizarre thing to do with a modernist, the type of writers who were very aware and skeptical of this method of "analysis and critique". and the fact of the matter is, discussing analytical concepts is much easier than discussing emotional ones, something that joyce's writing discusses a lot. it almost comes off as if you didnt finish the book.>winning arguments online>it's always funnymore projection
>>25218003>the chapter written as a play is one of the hardest to adapt to film
>>25218242Yes, I'm basing the emotional essence of the book off of how the people who've consumed it claim to respond to it emotionally. The most common emotional reaction I've noticed involves frustration and tedium, with sprinkles of being impressed by it.>it almost comes off as if you didnt finish the book.Correct. Like most people that attempt to read it, because of its emotionally sterile qualities that you are pretending don't exist.>>winning arguments online>more projectionI maintain that people who deny it's difficult to understand are lying to win arguments, yes.>>it's always funny>more projectionThat's not projection, I'm openly stating how I feel
>>25216208Godard's Histoire(s) du cinéma
>>25218279You’re a fucking faggot and really have no place to say anything about the book if you haven’t finished it. You talk about its apparent emotionally sterile qualities which, even if you do find the book difficult, which is very valid, it is a difficult work, to say it’s emotionally sterile is dishonest considering it’s replete with more emotional content and writing than possibly many other esteemed novels. Your feelings on the subject are misguided and insular.
>>25218265>retard hasn't even read itThe other one is an internal monologue and still went over to film well. You're trying to be a snob but you're actually a midwit.
>>25219088I am aware of the style penelope is written in. I was talking about circe. hope that helps
>>25216208Slacker.
>>25218427>it’s replete with more emotional content and writing than possibly many other esteemed novelsLike which parts specifically?>Your feelings on the subject are misguided and insular.How? If anything my opinion is the common one
>>25219094You said both girly chapters were inherently easy to adapt. Try to follow the conversation, retard
>>25219129you're talking to a different person champ
Imma read Ulysses
>>25219105Sorry, too lazy to effortpost.But, Circe, Ithaca, Penelope, Lestrygonians, Sirens and Hades are where you want to look, if you couldn’t find anything in them that evoke strong emotions in the reader then you probably just didn’t enjoy what you read, which is fine, whatever. But the fact is you’re trying to assert that you’re correct in thinking the way you do and people who disagree are wrong; you appeal to the most common emotional reaction (who exactly are you referring to though?), that’s a lot of people’s problem I find, they read it because of its notoriety as a difficult text, not its reputation as one of the best works of literature of the 20th century.
