"Film is the future of narrative"

No its Video Games

i actually agree but if you think writing isn't a part of film youre a dummy. good modern writing is thinking like a film-goer, or in our times a web-browser. Prose-obsessed poet types are doomed and don't even know it, or more often in denial.

nah video games aren't really as proficient for narrative. Unique experiences, sure, but going to/designing a carnival isn't quite the same as it is to read/write a book. linear progression is kind of important.

that doesn't mean they're not art but oyu gotta use your head here.

Narrative is the future of your face

Did you make this thread because Marquez wrote screenplays before cien años put him on the radar

you couldve said that in the 70s. but movies are such garbage now it's not realistic

Nah, I made it because when I read that I thought about my relationship with audiovisual in general and literature and they are different. I mean, when I'm watching a film it's purely for fun, and if I don't feel like watching a movie/serie I don't do it, but with literature I have a commitment and a responsability, I read wether I want it or not, wether I like the book or not (if is in the canon ofc). And I wondered, why don't I have the same commintment with "the canon of movies? "That's because you want to become a writer" Yes, okay, but nontheless I'm missing a huge field of quality narrative, so I should have the same commitment to. And I just wanted to know lit's opinion on the topic.

Not really no. They're both different media and have their limitations. I'd say they're complementary.
For instance, take a book like "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai: how could you film something decent from it? It's so introspective and so based on how things are said that it wouldn't make a lot of sense to see it in a film.
On the other side of the spectrum, take a film like "Mother and Son" by Sokurov. The narrative is hugely dependent on images and visual textures. I could try to describe what's on the screen but it'll probably end up sounding contrived and it wouldn't do any justice to the film.

Television has overtaken film.

The "Gutenberg mind" has been destroyed by the internet.
The codex will die in your lifetime.
The image has and will take primacy over the text.

Serious literature is already dead. academic literature departments are nothing but retirement homes for a dying cultural endeavour

Then bring it back. It's not like architecture where you need to change the whole landscape to fix the errors. You need to write one good book. Its existence being enough; the audience size is irrelevant.
