The Sun Also Rises 1957 Film Trailer

I haven't seen this film, but this is certainly a fun trailer. Love the drama of impotence being described as "the most shocking thing a man ever heard!"

1/25: Another leftover discussion question (more of a Franken-question)...

Several versions/iterations of this came up as I read over your questions: anyone care to defend Brett? (Her actions with Cohn, her rejection of Jake, etc.)

1/25: Leftover discussion question

Here's a question from Shelbi that didn't get brought up in class today. I thought it was a good one!

"Does the character's apparent post-war lack of direction still resonate with readers today?"

In other words, can you--in any way--understand, relate to, or sympathize with what Jake is going through? Some of the discussion questions I read from the rest of you seem to indicate that folks are having a hard time with these characters.

Thoughts?
