I don’t know that much about film noir and don’t have any strong feelings about any of the movies that I have to choose between for my film class, so why not just let some strangers on tumblr choose for me?

today i had my four hour long cinematography class. it was awful, i forgot my lunch, and forgot my keys as i was leaving. our instructor spent so much time talking i was getting sick. the only highlight was a guy from my scriptwriting class recognizing me and asking if i wanted to be in his group with his friend. i’ll see him again tomorrow. always love making new friends!

3 things i’m grateful for:

friends.

books.

my water bottle.

— love, lisa.

film class is simple. i watch a boring old movie i don’t understand. i sit in the back with a friend and analyze it in a Gay Way. it becomes easier to watch. Movies: The Gay Way.

BRO I LOVE MY FILM TEACHER

i have been seriously struggling with schoolwork recently and one of the classes affected by that has been my film class and ive been really stressed about my missing assignments (which y'all have definitely heard about on here) but my film teacher is the absolute best and this is the email I got from her today 🥺☹️🥹 literally love her (also she knows im usually on top of things because i had her as a sub for my speech teacher last year when my actual teacher was out for maternity leave)

no but fr now im gonna get those assignments done so that i can get on her bright side and everything goes right in the world. i also have to work on my documentary for film tonight too but I can just work on that late into the night. RAHHH

that last sentence 😅😂

Have I ever told the story here about how I accidentally saw Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time while knowing absolutely nothing about the movie at all at 8:10 AM in a literal room filled with theater students who absolutely DID know about it.

Double Feature: Battle of Algiers & I Am Cuba

Last two weeks I found myself watching these two movies for my film class. They had a pretty interesting premise and I personally love watching older movies! However, I fear I wasn't as captivated by these two movies as I was by our prior movie 'City of God'. Here's a few of my opinions.

I would like to preface beforehand that these two movies are historical and showcase very tragic events that had happened in both countries. I'm very aware of the political and social climate that both movies hold and understand why they were made as such. This is purely based on how I perceive these two films during my watch of them. I am only passing judgement for acting/shots/etc. Please be sure to do some research on both of these topics as they're honestly very interesting and can apply to what's going on in the world as of right now.

One of the things that I love about both of these films, is that they both highlight real issues prevalent in the world and try to tackle them as best as they can for a widespread audience. I personally was able to resonate with a lot of the characters in I Am Cuba, especially the women in the film. It felt very raw the way they portrayed how foreigners come in and treat them like trophies and toys to play with. It sucks that speaking up about these things as well usually got them in trouble (whether with management, or with the foreign white men that are not “entertained” enough from them).  I also was quite invested in the men from the Battle of Algiers’s story. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m well versed enough to talk on those political topics. But after seeing these, I’d honestly rather read into the history of both.

I think the main thing that couldn’t keep me 100% invested was the fact that they were both just made at a point in time where film was still relatively new. So of course, there are gonna be audio cracks, not as much visual stimuli, and somewhat ok acting. But again these are just personal nags for me. It’s not the move’s fault, I’m just used to modern ways of filming and color. I will say as invested as I was in the characters stated early, it was hard to be really convinced by the actors. A few of them weren’t the most emotionally captivating.  Overall, I’m willing to give these films another shot (maybe solo instead of in a class), I just don’t think they were interesting enough for me from a movie standpoint (as someone who actually likes historical movies). I’d rather just read upon these issues and talk to those who would know most about it.
