This is a drawing of a black and white photograph of the hotel that was once in Vancouver. This hotel was demolished over 70 years ago. An old hotel.
This hotel was demolished brick by brick, plank by plank, in a controlled demolition. I hope that CBC does a documentary about this old hotel, although only just a few photos survive.
This is going to be part of the set design for Seize The Day, as this is the hotel that the main character, Tommy Wilhelm lives in.
*************
In the original Saul Bellow novel, Tommy Wilhelm goes to a funeral on the way to looking for Tamkin, but he never does contact Tamkin.
In this version, it ends with Tommy Wilhelm calling his wife on the phone, a conversation, and then the wife hangs up the phone and it is a nice day outside.
In either version, Tamkin is not contacted so I thought it would be redundant to reconstruct the funeral scene in Wilhelm winds up not being able to contact Tamkin anyways.
In virtually every movie made about a book, fans will complain that the movie left out parts of the book. A Simple Plan, the film was totally different from the book. In the popular new movie, Twilight; New Moon, there are fans who say, "The movie left out parts from the book." Stanley Kubrick got letters like that from his movies.
I got a comment on one of my YouTube videos today, November 31, 2009, to the effect that one of my videos had left out parts from the book, and that the images seemed randomly connected. That is what the weekly movie reviewers on the News say about just about every movie.
So much so that one could say that a career in film making is not complete until you get a "your-movie-left-out-parts-of-the-book" letter.
George Lucas once said, "There is no such thing as a finished film, there are only projects that are walked away from."
He should know, in his 1977 movie STAR WARS, he left out parts that were portrayed in the Dell Ballantyne paperback novel STAR WARS which HE actually wrote! So, I am in distinguished company.
Update: I think I will try to finish this cartoon with the funeral scene ending featured in the novel.
