Thoughts on Hamilton by Porterfield

This film seemed to keep my interest more than the D Est film mainly because there was dialogue in the movie, but i do believe in both you could tell what the story was about. Watching this film it seemed to me that Joe was a man who had a child, but acted like he is still a child. Joe doesn't spend much time with the child and Elena. He keeps coming up with excuses like I am working. The problem is most of the time he is just sitting on the porch of the house he is staying at and doing nothing. Another thing is he argues with his mom and doesnt listen to her which are childish acts. Then at the end of the field the scene with him riding on a bike with another boy near by seems to show that he is still a child and is not ready to grow up and still likes to act like a kid. There just seemed like lots of tension by Joe in that he hasnt broken out of being a kid yet and is not ready to be the parent that he is suppose to be now that he has a child with Elena. The shoots are somewhat similar to D Est in that you see alot of different things throughout the movie and the camera doesnt sit on an image for a long time. I think this film and D Est are easy to stand focused on because they have more of a movie type feel to them and thats what are society is more used to these days. It was a good interesting film that to me represented a man who is not ready to grow up and in a way is a man in a boy's body.
