Ulysses - An inspirational text
I recently discovered a novel titled 'Ulysses' by James Joyce, an Irish writer. Ulysses was first published in 1922 and it is considered to be one of the most important work of modernist literature.
I was introduced to 'Ulysses' by a former teacher of mine, whilst helping out at a taster course for media for year 11 pupils. I discussed my idea's regarding 'Birthday Party' with my former teacher, addressing the sense of realism I was wanting to portray in my short film. She immediately mentioned this novel that she read during her time at university and raised the similarities between my film and the book's theme. I was truly intrigued by this novel. She told me of how the story depicts 24 hours in a certain character's life in a very real and true way, including everyday activities like using the toilet.
This instantly was relateable to my short film as I had planned to include my character using the toilet aswell.
I decided to research more in the Ulysses and found it is praised for its rich characterisations and broad humour, factors I wish to be existent in my film.
It was particularly inspiring to see how people have achieved similar ambitions to what I am aiming to achieve through their own techniques, even by using literature.
