I've been drafting some notes for a film script about Jean Sibelius. One of the first problems that became appearant was very simple and straight forward. If you have to show people everything, then with any inner labor, there is nothing to *show*. The author sits and types. We learn about the process only by what they do to release themselves from it. We can show memories perhaps, in the form of film. But not thinking, not the inner dialog. The limitation is not one inherent in film. Quite the reverse. It is a limitation on our taste in film.
