Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Lolita (1955 novel): 1 line

  1. lineage (adaptation) · through Lolita (1962), which they acted in: Lolita (1955 novel) ⇒ Lolita (the host's read). The 1962 film is adapted from Nabokov's novel; the speaker reads Crowther's review saying the film keeps the names and a resemblance of plot.
    “They made a movie from a script in which the characters have the same name as the characters in the book, and the plot bears a resemblance to the original”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Gone Girl (2014): 1 line

  1. theme (character type (Desi)) · through Lolita (1962), which they acted in: Lolita ⇒ Gone Girl (the maker said so: In the commentary). On the commentary Fincher says he wanted a Claire Quilty type for Desi and found it in Neil Patrick Harris.
    “Fincher said he wanted a Claire quilty type and he's like, what's a modern Claire quilty type?”

What the speakers said they did

Acting (1) everyone in acting

What was said about them, by kind

people (3)

  1. people (child-acting style): Sue Lyon → Hayley Mills. Sue Lyon's poised performance is compared to a Hayley Mills performance of that era.
    “Where she's like giving like a Haley Mills performance where it's like, there are no naturalistic child performances this time.”

  2. people (child-acting style): Sue Lyon → Jodie Foster. Five years later the part would get a Jodie Foster-style performance.
    “Like, if this movie is made 5 years later, you have someone giving like a Jody Foster-esque performance.”

  3. people (child-acting style): Sue Lyon → Judy Garland. Lyon's performance reads like Judy Garland's in The Wizard of Oz: a poised adult playing a kid.
    “This feels like a very Judy Garland performance to me.”
