Thoughts on the film from 4/23

I thought the film we saw on monday about watching the girls team from japan practice was interesting. The first thing that caught my mind was how organized the girls are when the run around the court. Everyone is in a straight line and nobody is all over the place. You dont see people run in an orderly fashion at a practice in the United States. Plus, the amount of running they did was unbelievable. I would have quit if my high school coach made me do that much running. The number one thing that really caught my attention was that there was no basketball hoops. I have never seen a practice in my life where no shooting was involved. That kind of made the film a little bit boring towards the end because i wanted to see how good of shooters and defenders they are when playing the game of basketball. I think this film was an example of how there culture is a lot different than ours. They do things in an orderly fashion and everybody seems to follow rules better there then they do here. In all i thought it was a good film and enjoyed seeing how they practice compared to the style we have here in the United States. Plus good camera work and it was good to keep the camera stationary it really kept the focus of me and made the film easy to follow
