| Abstract
|
:
|
This paper explores the ways in which Mehrjui’s <i>Pari</i> and Anderson’s <i>The Royal Tenenbaums</i> borrow from Salinger’s <i> Franny and Zooey.</i> My argument is that Salinger and the concepts he introduced in the book are remembered through both films. Being a product of their historical/cultural contexts, <i>The Royal Tenenbaums</i> embraces the aesthetics of the text and <i>Pari</i> converses with the spiritual aspect of the main text. Anderson’s film captures the United States’ preoccupation consumerism and the hollowness at turn of the twenty-first century, while <i>Pari</i> explores the angst and despair in the post Iran-Iraq war context of the film’s release, feelings that were similar to that of the post World War II context in which <i>Franny and Zooey</i> was published. All texts introduce concepts like alienation while presenting characters that speak to/for the intellectuals of their time.
