Consecutive Post 5

If asked what is the best film I have seen so far this semester, I would answer without a doubt All My Life. This is by far one of the least experimental films that we have viewed. It consists of a single pan with an old song providing the soundtrack and its simplicity is probably why I like it so much. It leaves a lot of room for the viewer to add to it. By that I mean it is not filled with seemingly random shots and puzzling visuals, I feel like there is freedom for me to add a narrative story to it if I please, or I can disregard any deep thinking and just enjoy it as is. I did some digging on the web and found this page with some other videos by Baillie, check it out. He ain't half bad in my opinion.

    Maybe you liked the film because it was simpe and direct, versus something could be seizure-inducing. I enjoy it as well; after all, this has to be like my tenth time viewing it for a class! It is a relaxing peace, inviting ease and enjoyment.

    So you smoke, and your profile says you run (if I am correct). No offense, but that is an oxymoron statement. Get out now before you have to talk with a box!
