It was really tiring to watch three art films and i was dead by the end of the class. But what Narendra said in class was true. Sometimes you really need to push yourself because through that great ideas come and motivates you. We watched in the mood for love. Little did I know the film was about politics but the director Wong Kar-wai showed suffering romance between a married man and married woman. I found the film very vague and there were so many jump cuts and jumping of scenes that i couldn’t keep track of it but after researching it was so nice to see that Wong brought such a huge by using two people in this big canvas. If you pay attention to the small details you can see the political crisis honk kong was going through because of the Chinese republic. There are many repetitions shown in the film and many scenes are repeated. I really liked the music in the background it kept the film going and gave a different feel to it.
We watched documentaries of Jackson Pollock and Rothko. It was a very helpful documentary and we had many arguments of what is a documentary and docufiction. I’m still confused with which film was a documentary and which one was a docufiction. It was a very tiring day in class but it was a good way to see different artistic processes and we also had a debate of which component in filming is more important and we discussed the importance of actors directors etc. We had various questions of credit and appreciation. It was a good discussion in class but it is we who have to come up with answers and there is no right or wrong but just seen in different perspectives.
