THE MORAL PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS AS REFLECTED ON DAN BROWNâS INFERNO
Moral philosophical is central to philosophy study as most issues have been discussed in the philosophy that related to morality. People who are not familiar with the other philosophical belief would think that the other party's belief is wrong while they hold the truth. This issue can be found in any social problem and has been reflected in one of literature work. A literature product is the closest portrait which reflects society's real situation and cultural background, including moral and ethnicity; one example of the products is Dan Brownâs Inferno. In the novel, Brown portrays that there are two sides to the philosophical belief of the truth, which exist in a society. Two main characters reflect the two different beliefs of truths; Bertrand Zobrist versus Dr. Langdon and society. This article uses intentionality theory, which is proposed by Husserl to do moral philosophical analysis critically in order to examine how two sides of philosophical views are believed by two types of parties, society, and Zobrist. To support the analysis, the writer uses philosophy of mind as the primary theory to analyze the moral perspective. The result shows that Zobrist has his own belief that killing half of the human population by bombing them is the right thing to do to save the world. His belief has been built as he is conveyed by Inferno, one of Danteâs great work. Meanwhile, Dr. Langdon and society think that Zobristâs belief is wrong; his action and plan to kill people is inhuma
Adaptation of Novel into The Film Inferno 2016
This research discussed about adaptation of novel into the film Inferno 2016.
This research aimed to find out adaptation of novel into film that found what the
differences are and adapterâs motivation or reason in the changes of both works that
related with the audiencesâ commentary. The research focused on what and why of
four chapters in Linda Hutcheon theory about the differences and the motivation.
Then, the data were analyzed using qualitative method. The researcher used note
taking as the instrument to find out the valid data. This findings show that there were
two different among the structural and mix of plays between novel and film, and the
motivation or reason of adapter adapting the novel into the film. The researcher
concluded that the differences in the structural and the mix play are character, plot
and setting and three motivations or reasons of the adapter are the economy, the legal
constrains, and the audience
A Technician's Dream? The Critical Reception of 3-D Films in Britain
Recent debates about the role of 3-D within cinema (and other media) have contained the traces of a largely anti-stereoscopic agenda that can be traced back to critical responses to 3-D in the 1950s. This article considers how British film reviews from the 1950s and 1980s established potent terms of discussion around the 3-D technology, its potential aesthetic development, and the role of stereoscopy within cinema. Exploring the parameters that the original reviewers set in place concerning the 3-D aesthetic, notably claims around realism, novelty, and gimmickry, the article argues that the language and terms of 1950s British film reviewers have worked to set an agenda that resonates through both the 1980s 3-D revival and modern day digital 3-D
Different Attitudes to Esotericism in Peter Ackroyd's and Dan Brown's Novels
In this doctoral dissertation, two differing approaches to the fictional utilisation of esoteric motifs are compared in the selected novels by contemporary British writer Peter Ackroyd and American writer Dan Brown. They represent contemporary Anglophone literature and draw their inspiration from a similar pool of esoteric ideas. On the one hand, Peter Ackroydâs profound obsession with Englishness and the English literary tradition positions him as a visionary literary figure among fiction writers. By employing anti-realist methods, he offers brand new looks through his transcendental interpretations of both existent and non-existent events and characters from English literary history and culture. In contrast, Dan Brown uses conspiratorial accounts of existing religio-cultural (hi)stories and presents them as alternative historical narrations. These variables underlie the authorsâ unique ways of representing occult ideas in their literary endeavours. Being the products of the latest centuries, the novels under study can be categorised within the realms of postmodern literature, with realist elements in Dan Brownâs works. Contemporary literature significantly benefits from the diverse array of occult practices, presented in particularly intriguing manner. Therefore, the primary objective of this dissertation is to explore the use of such esoteric conventions in the contemporary literary contexts crafted by these two widely acclaimed authors. Through the analysis of selected novels by Peter Ackroyd and Dan Brown, my research postulates the questions of how and to what extent esoteric motifs affect the historiography in Peter Ackroydâs novels and the factual aspects of Dan Brownâs fictions. Furthermore, I aim to identify the motivations that drive these authors to take resources in esotericism. I believe that the findings to these inquiries will help in filling the existing gap in the comparative study of Peter Ackroydâs and Dan Brownâs novels and contribute to the broader exploration of contemporary literary representations of esotericism
