All three movies last week were difficult to sit through not because of their content but just because I honestly could not find my self entertained by them. Although Flaming Creatures had its moments for the most part I felt unmoved by the movie itself. I, honestly, appreciate the fact that this film was so revolutionary but I feel like it doesn't compare to other movies that we have watched. I felt like it overused the nudity just to be graphic and controversial.
I really like making sense of movies during class but honestly I am going to find it very difficult to find any deeper meaning or greater purpose within Warhol's Blowjob. I read somewhere that Warhol let his actors up to their own devices. I am not completely sure what that means but I feel like if he is suggesting that he is filming a real life event and letting the actor do as he wishes "without the use of intertitles, script, etc" I feel like a better job could have been done and was done by Vertov. I was completely unmoved and I honestly am going to struggle finding a deeper meaning to Blowjob.
