Week 6 Cleo From 5 to 7 by Emma Tung
Cleo From 5 to 7 was probably one of the most emotionally personal films we watched in class because of how closely the audience follows Cleo’s thoughts and emotions in real time. The film mainly focuses on the two hours in which Cleo waits for her medical test results, and this simple concept surprisingly creates […]
Week 13 The Headless Woman by Emma Tung
The Headless Woman was an interesting movie, it felt unreal in a way that I couldn’t explain. First of all, I would like to say that my assumption is that she hit a person, not a dog, and that’s why she didn’t want to face the reality. Throughout the film, Verónica seems mentally disconnected from […]
Week 14 Parasite by Emma Tung
I have previously watched Parasite on my own before, but it is still one of my favourite movies of all time. Even after rewatching it in class, I was still amazed by how well the film combines suspense, dark comedy, and social topics together. I think my favourite part of the film is the way […]
Week 12 Three Colours: Blue by Emma Tung
Three Colours: Blue was the film I am doing the class presentation on, and therefore, I have a bit more background knowledge for it than any other movie we watched. After a bit of research, I would say that my favourite part of this film is the message behind the film. Although the cinematography and […]
Week 11 Dirty Dancing by Emma Tung
Dirty Dancing was really entertaining for me. The other films we saw earlier in this semester mostly focus on history and a bit of the political aspect of cinema, but this film is just like any other movie I would choose to watch on my own. My favourite part of this film is the dancing […]
Week 10 Film archieve by Emma Tung
The class visit to Anthology Film Archives was a unique experience for me. I didn’t have any expectations in mind and thought that it would be a movie theater-like place, but turns out it was a completely different setting that mainly focuses on achieving independent and experimental work. Personally, I wouldn’t normally choose to watch […]
EXTRA CREDIT – Angel Lopez
(I do not remember what the extra credit assignment was, but I assumed from another post that it was about a film we watched or discussed in class.) These are my final thoughts on this course and on Shin Godzilla (2016), which is one of my favorite kaiju films. The movie shows how a government […]
Extra Credit, by Mate Novak
Infernal Affairs (2002), directed by Andrew Lau, is a game of life and death thriller, in which Yan goes undercover as a member of the criminal group, meanwhile Lau becomes a mole within the investigators. It is a Hong Kong crime drama, and I saw many elements of what we discussed about it during class. […]
