heY er'body,
I wanted to give my thoughts on a few of the films we have seen. There were things that I really liked about all of them. Despite the composition of 1/2 Revolution; I felt it really captured the mass confusion that must have been going on with all the Egyptians in the streets. To me it seemed very chaotic with the overwhelming darkness. Maybe this is what the director wanted us to get out of it.
For Law in These Parts, I kept thinking that there really is no solution to the many problems in that part of the world that have been caused by war. I felt it was very thorough with all the variety of long interviews. I thought it could have had more cinematography; maybe more geographical shots of the peoples locations in relation to the conflict zones.
I almost cried during Invisible War. What a horrible thing for service men and women. I thought this film captured the pain perfectly of the victims who were trapped by policies that perpetuated the crimes. What a groundbreaking film of exposition.
For China Heavyweight, I really enjoyed the cinematography. It was truly beautiful the way the landscape and different scenes were shot. The story made me think of young kids all around the world who have few options as far as opportunities go. I especially felt connected to the character when he walked out for the Q and A with the director and producer.
Something from Nothing made me want to meet all the pioneers of modern hip hop and rap. I could not get over how creative this form of expression really is. Every rapper had a different style. Some I really liked, and some I couldn't even believe. I think its all about free style. Anybody can take time and script a rap, but only "verbally cold rhyme spit-ers" can really deliver the flows that make you reanalyze what you've just been told.
