However, Joyce lived during the last period before this art form became culturally predominant. After over a hundred years few know life without some form of film in it. Movies have become a part of the everyday ordinary. Stephen Rea watches ladies during the Nausicaa beach scene in in Bloom (2003). Although one or two attempts have been made, neither novel is widely considered filmable, which is odd since both owe elements of their existence to the then-emerging medium of motion pictures. Whenever his name is mentioned in connection with motion pictures it’s usually regarding the difficulty adapting his books Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Although he opened the first film theater in Dublin, the Volta Cinema, Joyce’s literary accomplishments are more well known. Acclaimed Irish author James Joyce isn’t a name that typically leads minds to movies.
