Answer the Questions (150 WORDS EACH QUESTIONS)

1) Rashomon is clearly a product of a deeply patriarchal culture, especially in using the story of a rape the basis for a metaphysical contemplation of the unknowability of truth and reality. Does the film also contain its own skepticism about patriarchy as well?

2) The idea of a “tale within the tale” is a really neat way to look at a story as it might be in real life. We each perceive and remember incidences differently. our interpretation is impacted by our own unique experiences along with our cultural and societal views. This could explain how the characters all had a different view of the events that took place.

Of course, you would not expect that the cause of death would change from a dagger to a sword. certain details should remain the same, but how it happened can be told differently from each different character.

The one thing that  did not understand, is they would have known if the man was killed by a dagger, or a sword and could have ruled out at least one of the stories.  wonder why they did not leave the cause of the samurai’s death the same? making it harder for us to know who was telling the truth.

3) At least when Cleo from 5 to 7 was made, Varda was the best known woman filmmaker in the world. What effect do you see of a feminine subjectivity at work here?

What are some of the more intriguing claims he makes in regards to how filmmakers should engage with image-sound relations, and what might be some examples – from the sound films (listed below) – of the creative deployment of sound?

In 1929 – in the transitional period from silent to sound film – the filmmaker V.N. Pudovkin published an article (“Asynchronism as a Principle of Sound Film”) that considers the way sound might be utilized as a new expressive element in cinema.

What are some of the more intriguing claims he makes in regards to how filmmakers should engage with image-sound relations, and what might be some examples – from the sound films (listed below) – of the creative deployment of sound?

Your analysis can focus primarily on one type of sound (dialogue, ambient sound, music) or on their combination, but it should not lose sight of the way audio is being combined/integrated with image. The more precise you are in your description of how sound is being deployed, and the effectiveness of this deployment, the better.

For this reason you should limit the number of films
you consider here to two or three at most. If you like you can also bring into play some of the observations in the course textbook about the way sound influences/transforms cinema aesthetics.

Films to consult:

Submit your essay by Aug. 4th

Late essays will not be considered.

note these four points in writing any film essay:

1. Film titles must be in italics.

2. Always use the present tense in talking about a film. The following is correct: “Buster tricks the bad guys by jumping through a window into a woman’s dress.” “Buster tricked” is incorrect.

3. Use the first person in writing about your observations, ideas, thoughts. For example: believe that the Veda character functions as the femme fatale in Mildred Pierce.”

4. You are writing the essay for me or someone like me—in other words, someone who has seen the film many times. As such, do not spend any time re-telling the plot. Just jump right into the scene you want to discuss. For example: “In the scene where Raimunda returns to the apartment with Paula, we see lots of red objects, e.g. pieces of clothing, etc. in the street and at the house.”
