Fight Club Reflection

among others were the sparkling gem this movie has to offer. Watching the movie is very reflective towards the society of audience. Many say the film is about how animals are watching our society. The animals are confused at how complicated and inefficient our society is.

The organization and the pacing of The Phantom of Liberty lend a lot the story. The film follows one group of people and their story until it gets interesting. Once that happens, they changed and begin to follow a group with a much less interesting scenario. Once their scenario gets interesting we drop that group and continue to a new scenario. Doing this makes the viewer never confident where the story is going. Bunuel always surprises with the new scenarios. This lets

I am an aspiring cinematographer that truly believes I can stand on the shoulders of giants when watching these films. I am a person that loves to see where the norms of today come from, everything from the inception of compositing from Méliès, to the frame of the penis in Persona that was emulated in Fight Club. When I see how it was done in the past, how they used it to tell the story and how people in the recent past have used, and how they used it to tell the story I learn a lot more about how I can tell my own stories. I felt that I was strong at dissecting films before. I had knowledge of how certain lighting was used to make certain moods, how different camera angles changed emotions, how the sound was developed to create a better picture. But, this class opened me up to a whole part of cinema I haven’t delved into nearly enough. It really helped analyze directors more. Giving me examples from films I’ve seen and how those directors shaped them. The class also opened me up to a massive list of great directors I never knew before.

I used to believe that older movies were good, but I shouldn’t spend as much time on them as I should the movies of the recent past (The Graduate being the one of the oldest that I considered a masterpiece). This class entirely blew that out of the water. Since this class has

My film pallet has opened up so much there isn’t a movie that I can’t appreciate for some reason. I may not appreciate some films as much as other, but most films there’s something to be appreciated in it. When I look at the hollywood films of today I am going to remember that they are large committee films that can’t have the concise vision of most led by a single person. When looking at them this way I’m going to expect a committee film and look toward the non-committee film market to get my films that are going to be truly great. I will also most likely search to films of hold before searching for new releases until I have enough of a depth of knowledge under me. When I approach making films I am going to approach them questioning how everything I do help tell the best story possible. I am also going to take the techniques and practices from the greats and combine them other greats I know to make the best film I
