Hello all!

Hmm... not really sure what to write at the moment, although ive enjoyed reading everyone elses so far.
I know we've all watched quite a lot over the last few weeks in class, and we've pretty much discussed these films already so i'll keep it short.

When The Levees Broke

I really liked this documentary...for the first two hours. I was actually dissapointed by act 3 and 4. I think it lacked the drive of the first two acts.
The characters were really strong and i think this was definetely the strong point of the whole programme . Each personal story made you think about the affect of Katrina on the people of New Orleans . I'm still shocked that it took so long to get rescue services there and the lack of support from the American government.
I'm glad it was shown in this way though. Without the strong point of view this documentary would have lost it's impact.
Did anyone else think it was too long?
For me this was the only bad point, on what was otherwise an outstanding documentary.

German Expressionism

I found this really interesting and i loved the clip we were shown from Dr. Caligari.
Has anyone else seen the whole film? Any thoughts?
I'm going to make a point of watching it now. I really liked the still photo we were shown from the film ( inside the house where you can see the dimensions of the distorted room)
I still think old horror films are much scarier than most modern films......


Happy Halloween!
