When I started reading bringing up baby, I decided that I would read as if I was a director. Reading the first page I instantly came up with where it took place, costumes, how the set would look, and different ways I can make this particular short story into a movie. I decided to re read the story however, this time I wanted to really look into the content and understand it. i felt as if Suzy's character was very intriguing. I really admired how outgoing and empowering her character was portrayed. After reading it a third time I was very interested in how the movie would coincide with the short story.
In class, I didn't realize how many other genres there was in film. I was very interested in what a screwball comedy was and was excited that we would get to watch one. While watching "Bringing up baby", the storyline was completely different from what I imagined. I first envisioned a married couple that went through wacky adventures. The story line was actually great especially since it was a comedy. I like how both the movie and short story both conveyed women in two different ways. In my opinion it showed that although they were portrayed as housewives at that particular time there is hope for viewpoints to change. I was very impressed in the screwball comedy genre and I look forward to watching many more of them.
I agree with Tatiana because I was also interested in the screwball genre because i had never in my life heard of this genre. I was surprised when the movie was very different from book because in the book I viewed the Main character as being a strong women who was in control yet even though in the movie she was still in control of David, she is very goofy and playful rather than serious and leading. The screwball comedy takes comedy to a whole other level and really expands what comedy can produce in this day in age compared to theirs.
