'The Sound and the Fury'

Seeing the really high-impact movie called, 'The Sound and the Fury' triggered a fusillade of wild thoughts in me. I love good TCM films and this bit of cinematic art bowled me over once again the other night. The story was originally crafted in the complex novel by the famed Southern novelist William Faulkner. This movie contains imaginative enthralling acting by two sophisticated performers, Joanne Woodward and Yul Brynner playing Quentin Compson and Jason Compson, respectively. The unique portion of the ouvre of William Faulkner is the man's ability to fashion a storyline that encapsulates the intricate variations of the mainstream Southern experience in a so impressive way. I find it amusing the way this Martin Ritt directed movie shows well the tone of real Mississippi life way back when. If a man or woman watches this thing it generates a vivid, deep wellspring of intense emotions and it makes new dimensions in a soul's life allowing a person to really feel the remarkable highlights of human experience.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
