	Brief Review: 'The Ides of March' by Thornton Wilder -- Objectivist Center -- Reason, Individualism, Achievement, and ...
		Wilder does not so much tell this story as meditate on it.
		Wilder's portrait of that mind arrested the attention of the philosopher Brand Blanshard, one of our era's rare academic champions of reason.
		At one point, Wilder labels his genre a "fantasia" and at another "a suppositional reconstruction." The reason is that, although Wilder narrates the entire story through documents-letters, journal entries, reports, graffiti-they are fictional, Wilder's brilliantly imaginative reconstruction.

	Our Town Summary
		Wilder was dissatisfied with the unimaginative, stilted theatrical productions of his time: "[They] aimed to be soothing.
		The tragic had no heat; the comic had no bite; the social criticism failed to indict us with responsibility." Our Town, with its far-reaching theme and unmistakable symbolism, was a far cry from the typical bland depression era play (though, ironically, "the magic of the mundane" is the play's major theme).
		He knows the characters' feelings, and alternately takes on the roles of narrator, philosophical druggist, host, master of ceremonies, commentator and friend to the audience.

		We get voice-over as the camera scans the graveyard and only after the camera pans the sky of sparkling stars do we see the dead sitting on chairs and talking---clearly the audience is supposed to think these people are in heaven.
		I really think Thorton Wilder clearly states that the people in the cemetery are in the process of forgetting their old lives and preparing for what comes after, so I don't think Wilder wanted us to think they were in heaven yet.
		Wilder took umbrage that the film version rewrote his powerful final scene.
