Introduction to LitFlicks: An Amalgamation of Literature and Film

    In an artistic era where storytelling went beyond traditional boundaries, the convergence of literature and film has given birth to a vibrant cultural phenomenon called LitFlicks. The word “LitFlicks” is an admixture of “literature” and “flicks,” epitomizes the vigorous interplay between the text world and screen world, which fascinates readers and audiences around the art world. Generally the word referring to the films that are adaptations of literary works such as novels, plays, short stories etc.,

    This blog mainly focuses on the reciprocation of literature and film studies which both are mediums that serve as the strongest tool for exhibiting the real and imaginative narratives and expression through text and screen.

A Mirror: Literature and Film

    

    As a literature lover everyone is aware of the famous phrase “Literature is the mirror of life”. Since, prominent figures like Leo Tolstoy and Oscar Wilde have explored the phrase “Literature is the mirror of life” in their works. I would say that “Film is the mirror of literature” where complex narratives like novels, plays, and short stories are explored and mainly, mirroring the character development, plot structure, setting of the story through the effects, visual and audio elements.

Literature: The mirror of life

    Literature is often considered as a reflection of life. It captures the complex tapestry of human experiences, feelings, cultural contexts and societal dynamics. It exhibits the human’s everyday walks of life. All of the literary genres such as novels, plays, short stories, and poems echoes the reality and imagination we encounter.

    At its core, literature encapsulates the myriad facets of life-joys and sorrows, triumphs and failures, and love and hate. Through the characters, plots, and settings, writers delve into the depths of human psyche and cultural constructs. From ancient to the modern contemporary, work of art explores a variety of timeless themes.

    In the ancient era, literature exhibited themes like fate & free will, the hero’s journey, divine intervention, honor and glory, mortality and immortality, justice and retribution, hubris and divine punishment. In the Medieval and Renaissance era, literature demonstrates themes such as chivalry and knighthood, faith and redemption, courtly love, memento mori, humanism, sin and salvation and even more. In the Enlightenment and Romantic era, literature discloses themes such as reason and rationality, nature and the sublime, emotion and imagination, the noble savage, rebellion and revolution etc., In the Victorian era, literature expresses themes like industrialisation and class struggle, morality and hypocrisy, gender roles and women rights, imperialism and colonialism, scientific progress and religious doubt and several more. In the Modern era, literature shows alienation and existentialism, disillusionment and fragmentation, war and trauma, the absurd and meaninglessness, identity and postcolonialism, race and racism, gender and sexuality, technology and dystopia, globalization and cultural conflict and even more. In the postmodern era, literature indicates themes such as meta narratives and self-reflexivity, the fragmentation of identity, multiculturalism and hybridity.

    Moreover, the work of art from an ancient era to contemporary evidence covers all the human experiences which they indulge in life. Hence, it is not surprising that literature is the mirror of life.

Film: The mirror of literature

    The concept of the film as the mirror of literature is lil fascinating idea since it is the medium which unveils all sorts of life that is disclosed in literature. Film is the vigorous medium in the field of art where the directors demonstrate nooks and corners of real life experiences. Both film and literature serves as the prominent field which encompasses a wide range of experiences, emotions, social structures, cultural narratives, and all spheres of life. When we consider literature to be the mirror of life, film is the mirror of literature when it enriches and enhances the interpretations in the work of art to the cinematic visualization.
