What I mean by this is that when the enemy is defeated the hero does not rest. The story continues in order to address the challenges that come with leadership after a villain is vanquished. The story ends only after the protagonist has been truly tested. ( ) Zapata contains two versions of a screenplay which was nominated for an Academy Award in 1952. In both versions the main character is the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, who fought for the rights of peasants against the wealthy Mexican aristocracy in the early 1900's. Steinbeck spent years conducting research on Zapata in Mexico, and the first version of his story is rich with historical detail. The second version is the actual screenplay, where the reality has been parsed and tweaked to make a better story. It was fascinating to see this process of creation, the art involved in making a simple, compelling movie script from a convoluted history. The first version was also fascinating to read, full as it was of small details about peasant life in Mexico. The overarching theme of both is the eternal fight of humanity against the powerful, always a worthwhile subject, and presented here in a historical and literary context that makes these screenplays worth reading. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The story of Emiliano Zapata, 'the Little Tiger', is, Steinbeck wrote, 'one of the strangest I have ever come across'. The champion of the peasants during the Mexican revolution, Zapata was a man of the people who became a great military leader and revolutionary hero. His story has everything, encompassing violent struggle and sudden death, the allure of power, love, betrayal and martyrdom. But Steinbeck's original narrative Zapata also captures the complex man beneath the mythic figure. This volume contains Steinbeck's full script for the classic film Viva Zapata!, starring Marlon Brando, for which he received Academy Award nominations for best story and screenplay. Notes by the film's acclaimed director, Elia Kazan, are also included. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
