Week 4



 The film we watched this week Tangerine is a little bit like a documentary. Sometimes, I forget that this is a movie with a script. Sometimes I feel that this is the true story of those protagonists. Shooting only with iPhone5s in my opinion makes this movie more atmospheric, just like someone recording a vlog for them in the back. 


  When it comes to the content of the film, the overall impression I have after watching it is that marginalized people are no different from mainstream cultural groups, they also quarrel and fight. Sometimes people think that if marginalized groups are not accepted by mainstream culture, they should be silent, and they should disappear from the public's sight. This is obviously wrong, but there are really many people who have this idea. When I watched this film, I didn't think that they were two transgender people, but that it was a “grievance” between two girls. I used to think that the two girls didn't have a deep friendship, but when Sin-Dee remembered that Alexandra had a performance and went straight to find her, I think they were really important friends to each other.

    I too forget that a script even excised. I think the way the film was produced with the phones adds to the overall experience of the film. -Davis Wukovits

    Yeah I also love the fact that this movie is shot on iPhone 5s. And I love your idea about not being silent.

Week 5

     This  is a very  delicate and touching story. An ordinary girl, a nagging mother, a steady father, a seemingly ordinary family, in fact, there are barriers. The father has a lover, the daughter is homosexual, and the mother's paranoid love makes them unable to breathe. Hearing her daughter personally say that I am gay, the mother's incomprehension and brutality have completely ripped her pain away. Mother represents part of society's views and oppressions of Alike, but she still loves her mother. Her identification with her identity makes me very happy. She chose a road she likes, although this road may be difficult, I admire her very much. "I am not running. I am choosing.”   There is also a saying that I like very much, I am your child and always will be. But I am not anyone's child, I am me. Everyone is a unique individual, while being a child of a parent, I am also myself.
