Re: unreliable narrators

mike frank asks why one should assume that the video rather than the audio
tells the truth.
mike refers to an example I gave, specifically:
In Heavenly Creatures, the narrator says: My New Year's Resolution is to be
kinder to others.... while the film shows the speaker agressively expelling
a young man from a party.
In the example I am unsure how one could have the video "lie" and the
"audio" be truthful. But the idea of a reversal has great appeal.
Sincerely,
Peter Latham
