Speaking of “Paradise Lost”
Constance Ash March 4th, 2007
As we were, tangentally at least, down below in “Creating the Worlds in Which We Want to Live,” here’s an interesting article from today’s NY Times’s art section about the attempts to produce a film made from Milton’s epic.
Pulled from the 3rd screen:
[ Mr. Semenza pointed out that many films have been influenced by the epic, some obviously (Taylor Hackford’s “Devil’s Advocate,†in which Al Pacino’s Satan character is named John Milton), others less so (the light sabers in†Star Wars,†some contend, must have been inspired by Milton’s angels’ “flaming swordsâ€). ]
