Finishing The Thief of Bagdad (1924)
I found a decent copy of the film on YouTube. Here are the links. Finish watching it at your own convenience, but finish watching it. It is sliced into 14 parts, but I am posting the links approximately starting where we left off in class. Enjoy!
Forum Posting: Analysis of Narrative in "The Thief of Baghdad" (1924)
For this posting, you should write a 200-word analysis of how the film tells its story cinematically (that is, using shots, cuts, editing, the musical score, intertitles, and so on), focusing on one or two elements (plot, dialogue, characterization, setting, etc.). What are strengths and/or limitations of narrative in silent films?
Your posting is due by Sunday, August 17 and you should read and reply to a classmate’s posting (engaging his/her ideas in about 50-words) before class on Tuesday, August 19.
Books unavailable (for now)
I received a call at noon today that the books haven’t arrived yet at Libreria Universal. I will let you know when they arrive.
In the meantime, no worries. I will take care of things for next class and will let you know if there are other arrangements that can be made for the book chapters.
Or you can get the book online.
