In Reply to: Project for my film class, I need feedback soon. posted by SwtShbby9 on December 04, 2002 at 17:22:12:
: I am doing a term project for my film class and it is about connections between films. My project was on the Kevin Smith films. I need to know why Kevin Smith decided to have a set cast and crew for all his films
--He has a core crew with his films. There are always different people brought in on the next film but he usually retains his core actors/actresses from the last. Case in point. You had Mewes, Smith, Mossier, O'Halloran, and Anderson in Clerks. Next, in Mallrats, you have a new core of actors (Lee, London, Doherty, Forlani, Affleck, Adams) but most of the previous film's core are in there (Mewes, Smith, O'Halloran). Lee, Affleck, and Adams are picked as the core for Amy (then the secondary characters again are Mewes, Smith, O'Halloran). Damon, Affleck, Smith, and Mewes are the core in Dogma along with new additions, etc.
:and need to know how all his movies are related.
--They all lie in the same continuity (except for maybe Dogma). Jay and Silent Bob are the connectors to all the movies. Along with the numerous references to the other movies in the Jersey Quin.
I would really like to get some feedback on this. It would help me a great deal. I need this by Monday, December 9, 2002. My project is due Wednesday, December 11, 2002.
--Better get cracking then.
