[Brad]

Cold Mountain

 

[Risk]

with cool runnings, can that really be used as related text for a physical journey?

 

[sami_87]

I have a few, but they have probably been mentioned b4, but here we go;
titanic
road kill
ice age (but we have been told not to use animations for this topic coz it doesnt look as good)
saving private ryan
thelma and lousie
black hawk down
patroit
charlotte gray

Ghandi
river wild
catch me if you can

I have some more aswell, those are just a few.

 

[beverly]

i think Beneath Clouds and Rabbit Proof Fence are two of the best

 

[leiara]

my teacher told me there is no point in doing LORD OF THE RINGS because it is set text 4 the advanced students, so some schools might already be doing that and apperently it is not acceptable. what a shame hey

 

[skypryn]

are you kidding asking for additional suggestions? i know some are more easily used than others..but heres my suggestions...every single book or movie in existance is an imaginative journey in some way or another....all it takes is some articulation

 

[Craig]

"Tears Of The Sun"
"View From The Top"
"Apocalypse Now" (Apparently somewhat graphic though)

 

[AGB]

i just found another good poem for imaginative journeys....i think it does qualify as 'original' because i havent heard anyone or read anything about people using it....On first looking into Chapman's Homer by John Keats

its a really good one to use.......can u add it to your list ren??

 

[ZoDiAc KnIgHt]

I just thought of Atlantis
I donno if its a story or anything, coz i havn't read the plato thing
But i know its kinda gives speculation about the world n stuff

Search for atlantis, by a old guy with a beard i forgot his name
its about this captain, and theres 3 other guys who are trying to get married to this high class/rich chick which i forgot about

What about the disney animated film one? i havn't seen it, the cartoon where some guy with parkinsons (spelling?) voiced the main character i think, i forgot his name as well

Michael J Fox.

Hmm..For a respectable 'Imaginative Journey' supplementary text that wouldn't be widely used, how about;

Anton Chekhov-Steppe. It was his first major short story, and is literally about a journey taken along the steppe, so that the child Yegorushka can move onto the next stage of his life, into boarding school, leaving behind his former life in the process. Unsurprisingly, events happen, and Chekhov uses several techniques to convey the journey to the responder.

The boy gazed at the familiar places, while the hateful chaise flew by and left them all behind.

The full text can be found either in several Anton Chekhov anthologies (For instance, 'The Chekhov Omnibus'), or online, at;
Steppe

I've heard that some markers don't look highly upon 'popular' texts such as the films posted in this thread, although it all ultimately comes to expression and exposition.

 

[fashionista]

i got a good poem..im using it rite now as a matter o fact
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came..by RObert Browning...the same guy that wrote the Pied Piper of Hamlin....it's at www.sparknotes.com under poetry (duh)
please please please
wuts a speculative journey and an inspirational journey as sub-categories to imaginative journeys?

 

[:: ck ::]

the wizard of oz --> best imaginative journey

 

[nessie_lee]

Do you rekon you could use jungle book or peter pan? what aspects would make it an imaginative journey?
thanks...

 

[Josie]

According to our teacher, it can be an imaginative journey on the part of the character or the composer. So by that logic, these two texts would be good, because both show the journey of the authors imagination.

P.S she also said basically anything which isn't realistic (talking animals, flying, etc) is an imaginative journey.

this is just a small point, but it can also be the responder

 

[skypryn]

how bout narnia? pretty nice eh..

 

[abby]

the whole speculative, inspirational thing is to do with the syllabus. It is the three facets of the imaginative journey, and i spose it is pretty important. It spells it out for you in the little blurb about each of the journeys though on the syllabus outline, so its nothing to stress about

 

[tunat]

here are some for anyone whos stuck:
movies:
a beautiful mind
spellbound
my big fat greek wedding
minority report
the never ending story
sliding doors
star wars
matrix
lord of the rings
back to the future
K-pax

i hope that helps...i can post more if people need them...
