Re: GG: C major P & F, Book I or II?
Hi Anne and everyone,
I think Girard used the Book I prelude because the Friederich
biography reported (wrongly) that the Book I prelude was the one
included on Voyager. But Girard seems to get most of the "blame" for
Well, he still should have checked for himself before basing the ending
of his movie on it! My guess is that he knew very well and decided it
was worth it for dramatic purposes. I must admit it was very effective
on me when I saw it the first couple times, before I knew it was Book II.
the error, probably because even people who read the biography
remember the movie scene before they would remember a brief mention in
a book.
I guess that's true, since I've read the book a couple times and still
didn't remember it :).
