After this, Tedd quit his day job and moved the family back to Elmira to work as a full time author and illustrator. After graduating from the University of Florida and getting married, he and his wife Carol started their family in Tallahassee where Tedd worked as a textbook illustrator, graphic designer, and in the field of advertising for ten years before publishing his first book. It was here that he took his first art lessons- classes that would benefit him later in life as an illustrator. His father's work then required that they move to Gainesville, Florida. His family lived on a farm in Pennsylvania for several years then returned to Elmira when Tedd was ten years old. He grew up in a family of six with three brothers.

The series, which Dr Allen continues to edit, has been praised by the Geographical Association: “They keep our attention.

Regardless, there are elements that shine with Shakespeare's beautiful words, and there are other elements that fall flat. Director Mankiewicz is faithful, perhaps too faithful, to the original, though adapting the play may have been a damned if you do, damned if you don't type situation. I disliked Louis Calhern as Caesar as he didn't have the right bearing or presence. Watch it primarily for those, because the rest of the film, while erudite and worth watching, just doesn't translate as well. And I have to say, the scenes with Brando right after the assassination are compelling (the one in private ending with him raging "Cry 'Havoc!'", and of course the address to the crowd), even if he slips on a word or two. On paper, this should be an extraordinary film. In this movie, you have the world's greatest playwright (Shakespeare) combined with one of the world's greatest actors (Brando), two other fantastic talents (Mason and Gielgud), and a compelling historical tale (the assassination of Julius Caesar and resulting civil war). First published in 2001 to fair reviews and reportedly low sales, Up in the Air had long faded away by the time Jason Reitman adapted and directed the Oscar-nominated big-screen adaptation. In the case of Walter Kirn’s Up in the Air, the 2009 movie adaptation amounted to nothing short of a resurrection. But numbers aside, comparisons between original and adaption is usually a good way to get to the essence of a book: By looking at what was kept and what was left off, we can slice thinner in terms of what was at the essence of the story.Īt least that what I keep telling myself when furious authors do drive-by bookings of my house. * So it’s likely that anyone reading the review of the book will be reasonably familiar with the film. Once the movie exists, it’s almost a sure bet that more people will see the film during its theatrical run alone than the book has had readers. How unfair it is to base a book review on comparisons between the novel and its movie adaptation.īut since I do it all the time, I might as well defend the practice. |
