THE SEMANTICS OF THE IMAGES OF FAMILY MEMBERS IN THEIR RELATIONS WITH THE GUEST IN THE TEXT OF P. P. PASOLINI’S SCRIPT AND IN HIS FILM “TEOREMA”
DOI: 10.23951/2312-7899-2017-2-125-145
The article compares two texts of a different nature, but with a single semantic kernel: the script for the film “Teorema” and its screen implementation. The research is built through the analysis of the relationship between all the characters in the film with the central character, since the author (P. P. Pasolini) gives him both a deep content and a multifaceted symbolism. On the way of comparing the word and the frame, the following conclusion is made: what is written in the text of the script carefully and verbosely is visualized on the screen by mean and minimal speaking means, and vice versa – what several words are said about, expands in the visual text of the film and turns into a perfect and the finished thought. In Pasolini’s style, the word continues the frame, while the frame is a silent word, which means the word embodied in eternity.
