Tomorrow in class, we will be watching 3 clips from Beloved, the film. If you are not aware, Beloved was not particularly well-received--and it did not make nearly as much money at the box office as the production team had hoped. Oprah Winfrey, who owned the rights to the book (which allowed her to turn it into a movie) and played Sethe, has stated in interviews that she was very depressed as the result of the film's poor reception.
For your posting: you are to discuss the trailer in relation to your understanding of the novel. A trailer is a teaser and is meant to pique interest in a soon-to-be-releasted film. You know the novel--does the trailer appear to be accurate? Does it appear to be an appropriate audio-visual enactment of the text?
