Some help for a paper...
For my freshman college writing course, we have to choose a topic that incorporaates music, literature, and somewhat involves the themes we have discussed throughout the semester. I am hoping to use the topic of film and music, and somehow tie that to the literature. A theme we discuss often is that of Nietzsche's apollonian/dionysian argument. This links up with the power of music, and how it is more of a primal, higher force than language. We've read Doctor Faustus, and will be reading Great Gatsby. Im a little stuck on how I can involve film in this. I was thinking something like studying silent film and the way it used music. Wong Kar-Wai's In the Mood for Love also got me thinking. Any suggestions, help, or ideas would be great. Oh, and I'm hoping to pick up some dvds for "research" purposes if I go through with this.
