Візуальні образи: від роману Івана Багряного Тигролови до однойменної екранізації Ростислава Синька
Visual images: from Ivan Bahrianyi’s novel Tiger Trappers to Rostyslav Sinko’s film adaption

Summary/Abstract: The film adaptation of the novel is considered to be a part of the literary discourse, hence its analysis is relevant as one of the disclosure methods of the author’s intentions embedded in the work. The article attempts to decode which visual images unite Ivan Bahrianyi’s novel Tiger Trappers and Rostyslav Synko’s film of the same name. The aim of the article is to compare the visual images of both works, taking into account the specificities of literature and cinema as arts and to determine the causes and role of the changes introduced by the director. Among all the visual images, we focused our attention on the echelon’s image, the characters’ features, the interior and exterior of the Sirko family house, and the landscapes. As a result of the analysis, The following conclusions were reached: the film adaptation of the novel Tiger Trappers almost exactly reproduces the verbal-visual images, but intensifies their ideology due to the Ukrainian features being emphasized. The director tries to circumvent the technical inability to convey the picturesque landscapes of the Far East and resorts to stylization, bringing to the forefront a patriotic motif and an adventure plot.
