Distant Voices, Still Lives

I thought Distant Voices; Still Lives was a very fascinating movie. Although I wasn’t thrilled about all the singing I did feel it was very important to the content in the move. The singing made the watcher get a feel of the time and how important singing was to the people of that era. In modern society we are very lucky to have axes to music whether it’s on the radio, CD or an i-pod anything like that. I have to say I like how the film showed us the family’s point of view. In most movies the film focuses on one individual character; by doing that sometimes the movie can be dry and predictable.

  1. I suspect others wouldn't be thrilled at the music we have access to either, no? Isn't a thumping beat blaring from a car stereo at 3 am just as obtrusive?
    But I digress. I think the idea of collective point of view might be interesting to explore in your paper.
