Swifty Lazar

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 were tied to as agent who owned the screen rights: 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”

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 were tied to as agent who owned the screen rights: 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?”
