The film Distant Lives, Still Lives was interesting the singing set the tone for the different scenes in the movie. I thought the distant voices was the memories of the families past life and the still lives is when the current actions takes place. The father seemed to be the center of many things even though his passing had big affect on the characters I believe. He was physically and verbally abusive not only to the mother but the children as well and it was kept quiet. The importance of the father in the film was quite obvious.

I think you are right about the meanings of the two titles (you can also check with Davies himself said about the latter one in the intro to that part of the screenplay).
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the idea that the film has a collective and not an individual point of view, might be a good place for you to start your paper?
