WENDY & LUCY

This movie was one of my least favorite movies  i have ever watched.  It was so bland and had no point or purpose besides to document someones shitty day that they are having for what we believe is no reason.  We have no idea why she is going to alaska or no explanation.  This movie is an antidote to chick flicks because usually chick flicks have something happen that is extremely sad, or a love story, or girl time.   This movie had no sense of plot or any kind of direction except down hill.   Chick flicks appeal mainly to women and i think that this movie appeals to almost no one and not limited to chicks especially because it was a movie for anyone that has the nerve to watch it and waste their own time.

O BROTHER!

I believe that the music in this film has a very important meaning and purpose behind it.  The songs themselves are very historic and relate straight back to times after the great depression which is when this movie is set.  And the role of all the racism and ways of the south it holds great meaning of how times were back them just by the stories through the lyrics of the songs.  The music was so powerful that anyone could relate to it and enjoy it because it fit the story line so much, that people felt that they could appreciate it outside of it being bluegrass country like which most people are not interested in.

I really enjoyed this movie for the aesthetics of the film.  The scene i found the most fresh and awesome was the two scenes where Sant did the same thing in both.  He froze the shot as though it was a still life photograph during a few of the sex scenes.  I thought it was refreshing how he did this because it brought that photographic media into a film where usually that isnt done much.  The images that were frozen upon were very engaging as well, it was fascinating to see what pose he was going to freeze it on next.  I appreciate this because it is a breathe of fresh air to incorporate stills with in a actual moving film, rather then just viewing a still from the film itself
