Sandman

I found Sandman at the top of a list called "comics that can not be made into movies" before entering the class and after reading the first few on the course resource list man I couldn't agree more. Sandman has such an interesting story that can not be fully explained and I feel that it is so well written as a comic that it really shouldn't though I have heard talk about it. I find the sequences of dreaming to be amazing and how could one really film that? In today's age of technology it is much closer than when the story was first written. The constant change of epic scenes would be amazingly hard to recreate and build for a movie. The transitions of a dream would also be an interesting feat to film, in the book things will just change, which appears natural in dreams but in a movie the viewer would notice such changes and it would seem very old in a constant motion where as the reader places what they know about dreaming in between the panels in the comic. I think the parts that are not shown are some of the most important parts of the is comic and it is why that a comic is a great medium to write a story about dream, you can read between panels. I feel that many of the time changes not only scene changes would contribute to making a film about the comic increasingly hard and would confuse an audience, many of the characer are immortal and appear through out different time periods which might be odd to a movie goes who does not grasp the whole story. Also the story has to be told in a two hour time period which would be amazing hard to explain all parts of this amazingly in depth and interesting series. In conclusion I agree that this comic would make a very difficult movie but at the same time I would love to see a team try to tackle this amazing project.
