Thoughts on this past weeks films

I enjoyed the visit by Laura marks on Monday. You could really tell she enjoys films by how she talks about them in a exuberant way. She seemed to be thrilled with all the good questions asked by the students in the class. I thought the best film of the day was the film called resistance. I could get a sense that shapes and designs going in different directions made me imagine that it was a person dancing like the film was portraying. I think the music which was kind of exotic and free going would be perfect music for a belly dancer to use. I thought the reading we did called Convulsive fables reading was associated with the film we saw we people stood on that sacred church and were looking up to the heavens for help in life. I thought the film that had the most going on it was In this House because it showed the man talking about the house, people digging for something they were looking for and had a separate section on the screen that indicated who was talking at the time. I think that film is a good example of how the media can put a few productions on at the same and still make it easy enough for you understand what is going on while viewing a particular film like the one. In all I thought the films were good and it was nice to see how people of other countries observe the religion they believe in.
