Evoked Emotions

This particular image is a landscape photograph. When researching images to blog about I came across this and was immediately drawn to it. This image evokes many emotions when I sit and study it. It alludes to some form of power that we as humans cannot comprehend. Nature in itself has a separate, and what seems to be divine power of its own that humans cannot control. Yet it has elements of mystery. Although it strikes me as being inspirational and the hope that there is a force in the universe that extends far beyond that which we know.

French Film Festival

So last Wednesday I attended the French Film Festival at the Robinson Film Center with some of my friends. The movie that we saw was A Town Called Panic, and I must say it was an interesting film. The background color of the film was very rich, which almost made the colors seem artificial themselves. Perhaps it was a play on the artificiality of the film. The humor of the film differed drastically from the the comdedy films made in the U.S. I didn't find the material of the film particularly funny, but instead I more amused with what I consider to be ridicolous humor. The dialogue of the film was in French which I felt contributed to the humor of the film. This was my first time ever watching a movie where my comprehension relied on the subtitles. Though the visual aspect of the film was rather decent and conveyed enough of the film's text to where I did't have to read some portions of the subtitles and was able to capture the meaning. I still have yet to derive a purpose of the film, but perhaps it was meant for no other purpose than entertainment.
