Response To Anger Films: Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome
So my imidiate reaction to Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome is that it is WAY TOO LONG! Though the colors and visuals were very interesting at times, I did not like how repetative the entire film was. As I was watching I just kept thinking to myself "Okay I've already seen this, I get the picture." It really just got annoying after a while. Since I didn't really understand the context of the different scenes maybe I didn't understand it as well as I would have if I had understood them. I just thought that the film was really long and repetitive which made me really bored. Yes the visuals were nice, but I needed something more. I didn't really connect the scenes very well. To me it just looked like someone's acid trip. Maybe if I understood his reasoning for creating the film I would have liked it better. Also his other film Fireworks I found to be a little disturbing. There were a few images in there that I really had a hard time watching. Even though I knew why he had made the film and what he was trying to say, I still was having a hard time making the connection to what he was trying to say. I think with both of his films I just had a hard time understanding his point.

Good. We'll talk about the issue of duration in AG films and different expectations.
