Okay guys, I'm gonna level with you. I've only seen Goncharov once, in a film class in college, and I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of it, so I've never seen it in its entirety. I saw clips of what I missed on youtube, but its not the same...

3 things i’m grateful for:

friends.

how does one transition from writing 10 page papers to 2 page papers? asking for a friend

#this is what i get for adding a film certificate #loving having a lower level class #but hate not being able to develop my points #two pages is barely an introduction and the the first paragraph #not enough space to develop a whole paper!! #study motivation #study blog #study #studyblr #college #english #film class #paper writing #essays

My Favorite Films: Enter the Void (2009)

I’ve seen this movie twice. The first time I was more perturbed by the shocking elements (the incestuous overtones, gratuitous sex, and generous amount of flashing lights). But after contemplating it for a bit I’ve discovered that all of that ebbs to a quiet lull of artistry and trauma.

A very creative way to tell a story. It’s a mood movie. Makes a pretty horrible pitch: “The main character dies 30 minutes in and you spend the other 2 hours wandering through his consciousness.”

I am a little annoyed at the amount of reviews that suggest the only way to watch this is to be on drugs. Apparently, Gaspar Noé took drugs while writing this, but I think the experience in itself is so unique that it can be enjoyed without altering your mind. And in fact, I think it’s kind of a shame (?) that people dismiss this movie based on how provocative it is, without examining the role of the shock elements in carrying the narrative.

I don’t even know how to explain what I like about the movie (because it’s such a one-of-a-kind experience), but here’s my best attempt:

The things I like

The handling of trauma, and the way the movie claps you with the realization that trauma can hit you anytime, anywhere, in its sly way of co-opting the mundane.

The creative transitions and camera angle very much mimic the kind of associative thinking I undertake in that half-dozed-off state - you know, when you’re still aware of your thinking and kind of aware that your thinking doesn’t make rational sense anymore. The more “wtf” associations (e.g. his affair with his friend’s mom cutting to a shot of his own mom breastfeeding, cutting to his friend talking about the happiest memory of his life being when he was sucking on his mom’s nipples), pretty Freudian, but also very predictable. Cutting from the bestial sensations of lust and gluttony to such vulnerable, formative memories made some of the transitions very poignant, and I think they were handled with tenderness.

The glass chandelier scene and the Air in G motif that plays whenever the siblings are reunited is one of the most spellbinding scenes I’ve seen. It’s dizzying and crystalline and intimate all at once, which Linda twirling around so unrestrained talking about how beautiful it all was, and the narrator’s head looming as a shadow, a stabilizing point for the viewer. The way she puts her arms around his neck and talks about how she misses him and gives him a look filled with too much longing and happiness and years’ worth of stuff unsaid.

Perhaps we are supposed to think he had sexual feelings towards his sister. Or maybe Noé was just interested in dabbling with incest as he apparently does in his other films (haven’t seen anything else by him). But once again, from the perspective of someone who watched this a month ago, all that kind of melts away into this poignant attachment towards her and highlights the siblings’ trauma at being separated. He is shot, and all his thoughts in his last moments revolve around her. The blood pact they made as kids, the recollection of that promise in the afternoon sun, some handheld footage of their reunion in Tokyo… there is a lot of innocence there, too. And when Oscar’s “ghost” hovers overhead and witnesses Linda fighting with the friend who snitched on Oscar, with Linda shouting she doesn’t want to live anymore. That broke my heart. Usually when films get philosophical it’s a hit-or-miss but in this case it works because we are experiencing the consciousness of a specific person. We are on autopilot and not alone with our thoughts, because Noé shows us through Oscar’s omniscience all the interwoven aspects of existence.

I think this movie is really beautiful and needs to be experienced with an open mind. It might also take a few rewatches to fully sink in. It’s one of my favorite movies.

Get Out (2017) (post 10)

   Get Out (2017) is a truly special film in the horror genre. The film is not using the white gaze like Candyman (1992) and confronts racial disparities unlike the other film. The film  does not rely on racial stereotypes to depict the Black characters and the protagonist is a Black man with a darker complexion that what is normally seen in the horror genre. The opening scene with Andre in the suburbs is an example of the anxiety felt by Black people in the suburbs and in our White patriarchal society. Andre states that he is creeped out and sticks out in this environment. He begins to walk the other way when a car joins him on the dark, empty street. In “Horror Noire” Coleman explains that Black folks have been warned about the suburbs and the White people inhabiting it. These fears seem to come to fruition when Andre is kidnapped by Jeremy and later seen as “Logan” at the party.

   Chris is hyper aware of his race, how society views him, and how Rose’s parents may react to their interracial relationship. While Rose plays it off, and gaslights Chris about these racial issues to lower his guard. Rose presents as very anti-racist when she dismisses Chris’ worries about her family, when she confronts the police officers about harassing Chris and when Chris is afraid Georgina is acting out of hatred and jealousy of their relationship when she unplugs his phone. Chris’ suspicion is further heightened because he can tell that something is up with the other Black characters that he interacts with at the house. They do not share the cultural cues that Chris is used to, like when he goes to bump Logan’s fist with his own, Logan instead tries to shake his hand.

   There are many mentions of the genetic makeup of the Black man. The old white party goers are interested in the differences they think the Black body can provide. I believe this fetishization and taking of Black bodies ties into cultural appropriation and directly affirms racial attitudes that were present in King Kong (1933) Kong is coded as a Black male body that can provide something for the White woman that other White men cannot. In King Kong, they destroy this threat to their masculinity and in Get Out, they take and use the Black body to take these perceived advantages that were once feared. Black bodies are used as vessels and are equated to animals. Rose plays the role of the hunter; it is seen clearly in the final act of the film when she is wearing the attire. This film does a wonderful job at confronting uncomfortable truths of this country and society. Rose is a killer girl who is rooted in reality. And unlike other killer girls like Jennifer, Carrie, and Angela, there is nothing redeeming or justified about what she does. Rose is terrifying and conceals her monstrosity for most of the film only to reveal the homegrown horror her family embodies at the end of the film.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist
