Personally, I found the repetitive movement of shapes from several of the first movies to be kind of monotonous. The constant movement really did not grip me and after the first minute merely turned tedious. It kind of reminded me of one of those screen savers that comes up and you cannot stop watching, only someone decided to make it into a movie with sound. I am not trying to put down the entire idea however, because I do truly appreciate the time and effort that must have gone into these films. Especially with limited technology, it would be very difficult to coordinate these shapes to the music. I believe that some of my confusion is probably due to my musical handicap. As much as I would love to be a musical person, I simply do not have an ear for tone or pitch and rhythm is just a whole other level. It was hard for me to grasp the meaning behind it all.
I found myself to be much more intrigued by the film Ghosts Before Breakfast. I have found that I really get into movies when I can relate to them. This film reminded me of those days when nothing goes right no matter how hard you try. Not even the little things. I am not sure that being relatable is exactly what these film creators had in mind, and may even be a shallow idea in comparison, but that is what grasped my attention.
