Negative Positive
Title: Helps visualize the story, but kids may fall asleep
Review: The film is approx. 40 minutes and does a decent job of putting Faulkner's work on screen. Some of the stream-of-consciousness is conveyed through voice-overs, which may provide a good talking point with students.Tommy Lee Jones is a perfect Abner Snipes, in fact, I don't think I could picture him any other way.The downside is that it is rather boring, though I truly don't know how it could be spiced up, since it does stay true to the story.I plan to show it intermittently as we read the text, as students really struggle with it. I do believe it will be helpful.
