The Method
If I were to recommend one of these stories to anybody it would definitely have to be The Method. The Method to me was definitely was way more exciting and interesting to read than Morocco Junction 90210. The reasons why I recommend The Method more than Morocco is because I really thought that The Method's plot was definitely more noir than the other. The Method's story was very interesting and I definitely think that it fits in the book Los Angeles Noir very well, I love how it shows the possessive side of men with woman. In Hollywood you definitely see a lot of men that are stalkers with obsessions over the celebrity crushes that they have, and you definitely get to see that in The Method. The Method in my opinion definitely is an exciting story, you really get a good feeling of how obsessive people are over someone else to the point that they will do anything to get they want. I really did like having a female narrative in this story, in a way it made it more exciting to see it from a woman's perspective instead of a mans. Even though you also have a woman's narrative in Morocco Junction 90210, but I personally thought the story was not as exciting as The Method. The Method definitely classifies as a noir in many ways making it a very good short story that is exciting to read. I would recommend The Method over Morocco because it has a very interesting plot with a very good perspective on the city of angels and you definitely get a different style of noir with this story and it makes for a very good read that I enjoyed very much.
I also thought that "The Method" was definitely more interesting than "Morocco Junction". I also felt that The Method fit noir better than Morocco Junction as well. I felt The Method had a story, and was interesting to have a female as the protagonist and narrator, and having a guy as a femme fatale. But Morocco Junction to be honest was kind of hard to follow the story and just wasn't that interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Taylor. I 100% agree with you. I found "The Method to be very intense and captivating, whereas "Morocoo Junction," I had trouble making it through the whole thing. I felt "The Method" was a common story you might hear about and that to me made it feel very realistic. I felt "Morroco Junction" was very dull and ill composed. The ending to me felt as if the writer were late for a deadline so she just threw it all together, poorly.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you and would most definitely recommend "The Method" over "Morocco Junction."
I agree with you in stating that "The Method" was the better of the two stories. It was absolutley more noir than the other. I thought it was more interesting and exciting and held a better story line. It makes sense that you pointed out the fact of the obsession because I thought that Richard was primarily trying to seek revenge on the old woman. His obsession offers a explanation for his drastic behavior. It was definitely a better read.
