But it also lacks the bad the ossification, if you things that will, says youll study this and this as a prerequisite before you go on to this. The main thing is having a backlog of experience, having seien the film. Tom sees his transition from literature to film as an easy one, Its like getting a PhD in Spenser and then discovering 20th century literature. Once youve been a student, you leant to pick thing? up quickly. But- Vivian sees film study as the coming thing not necessarily a replacement for the literary discipline but certainly one that has wider appeal.
