To think, it was your glowing review of it via email that made me get out and buy it. And I LOVED that movie.<BR/><BR/>Subtext is an amazing tool. I'd like to use the example of one of my faves from Wuthering Heights, but I'm going to have to go dig out the book and that'll take a while. <BR/><BR/>Since I'm rushed for time today, I'll have to drop in later and add it...if I don't forget.

Sounds like one my hubby would love! (heehee)Maybe for Valentine's Day.<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with subtext making stories come to life. They lend to far more emotion for sure. I think it's because we can all relate to it. How many times do we dodge being straight forward? Lots. Sometimes to ward off embarrassment, sometimes because we just can't handle voicing the issue, sometimes because we're just not certain we're on the same page so we leave it open to interpretation. Or, perhaps, we plain and simply don't have time for the nervous breakdown that we deserve and voicing our feelings outright would surely send us into one. Feelings are so complex, and we rarely like to be transparent. Subtext is a great way to reveal that on the page, and off.<BR/><BR/>Hey, How was the conference?Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-50546730298074525492009-02-02T09:04:00.000-05:002009-02-02T09:04:00.000-05:00Subtext and sharp writing are great.
