Wordle and famous movies
19 Aug 2009Just the other day I was reminded of the existence of Wordle (via the Music Zeitgeist project). Wordle makes an esthetically pleasing word cloud of any assembled text you throw at it. “The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.” Ithought: let’s see what that gives with movie scripts. So I made a tool that will read a .SRT subtitle file and return just the pure text. I can then copy/paste that text into Wordle.
Try to guess which movies these are (click on the image to see a high-res version):
And for #4 and #5 I’m gonna give a hint: it’s science fiction!
Wordle is really cool!
The answers:
- Casablanca
- Vicky Cristina Barcelona
- Lucia y el sexo
- Star Wars III
- Star Trek
