Este artigo consiste numa tentativa de tratar algumas das questões
fundamentais relacionadas com a diferença ontológica entre o teatro
e o cinema, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à capacidade do
primeiro de representar a acção e o objetivo do segundo de relatar a
sequencialidade dos eventos. Através de alguns exemplos colhidos
das adaptações cinematográficas da peça de Oscar Wilde The
Importance of Being Earnest procura-se confrontar alguns tópicos
que distinguem as duas formas de arte: a característica de passado
versus a dimensão de presente, a colisão dramática versus a
sequencialidade, a mimesis versus a narratividade, a dimensão de
representação versus a de “mostração”.
This essay is an attempt to tackle some of the fundamental issues related with the ontological differences between drama and film, namely the ability of the former to represent action and the aim of the second to relate sequential events. Through the use of some examples selected from the film adaptations of Oscar Wilde’s play The Importance of Being Earnest our aim is to confront some of the topics distinguishing these two forms of art: pastness versus presentness, dramatic collision versus sequentiality, mimesis versus narrativity, representation versus showing.
