''The Dead'' is a 1987 feature film directed by John Huston, starring his daughter Anjelica Huston. ''The Dead'' was the last film that Huston directed, and it was released posthumously. It was adapted from the short story "The Dead" by James Joyce (from his short works collection ''Dubliners''), and nominated for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Costume Design. The film takes place in Dublin in 1904 at an Epiphany party held by two elderly sisters. The story focuses attention on the academic Gabriel Conroy (Donal McCann) and his discovery of his wife Gretta's (Anjelica Huston) memory of a deceased lover. ==Film adaptation== This film adaptation by John Huston's son Tony Huston can be considered a close adaptation of Joyce's short story, with some alterations made to the dialogue to aid the narrative for cinema audiences. The most significant change to the story was the inclusion of a new character, a Mr Grace, who recites an eighth-century Middle Irish poem, "Donal Óg".〔("Donal Óg" ), tr. Augusta, Lady Gregory〕〔(Nick Laird, ”I think he died for me” ) ''The Guardian'', December 2, 2006〕 The effect of this is to act as catalyst for the "Distant Music" that provokes the memories Gretta and Gabriel discuss at the end of the film. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dead (1987 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
