Surely there must be an “inbetween” out there? I think Marty wrote that his impression of Hayes’ thinking was to get a map out for public viewing, and allow the public to make its own decisions about the historical implications. Okay…I kind of by that, but I also think Hayes might be a bit lazy. When I was in film school my fellow students were always trying to use “symbolism” as a way to avoid explaining the visuals in their film. If I had a dime for every time someone said “what do you mean you don’t understand the meaning of the beam of light hitting the left hand of that clown” I’d actually buy all the books this semester. You can’t rely on the fact that people are smart enough to infer something from a film scene, or a map, to get back on subject. A well done page with interactive elements that accessible on a variety of browsers is only half the battle. The historical narrative completes the picture.
