I felt like these were two tottaly different movies at first, but then as we began to talk and speak about them i started to realize all the familiaralities they had with eachother. In fiction the main character seemed very sympethetic, but i feel like it was only to make her feel better about herself. She had a boyfriend with C.P, and i felt like the relation was just out of pitty and that she was almost using him to inprove her image. In the bar scene you can see that she just wants to please anone, because she admediatly throws out what ever she said to her boyfriend and totaly sides with her professor. The sex scene was deffinantly awkward, but i feel like she has it coming to her. she is deffinantly not in control at all, and just has to go along with what he says. As for the red box. It seemed unecacry, not because that scene didnt need to be cencored, but if they were gunna cencor it they might as well cencor the scene that it kept flashing back too, where she is being pounded up against the wall, because that scene seemed just as offensive.
In Non Fiction, there seemed to be a troubled man whos dabbled in a little bit of everything, tryng to find and fufill his dream. so he sets off to document the present day teenager, and on his journey finds scooby. Scooby is a very bland character, who seemes to be lost in his own body. He's not really sure what he wants to do with his life, he just knows that he wants to be on t.v or slightly famous. the camerea fallows him around documenting his choices and decisoins, kind of turning the story into a comedy. The reality of the story was that scooby was just totaly and utterly lost, and just falling deeper and deeper in despair.
I enjoyed the movies as a whole, scoobys story more then fictions. i found myself feeling bad for scoob and the way his parents treated him. In fictions i felt that she got what she deserved and that there was no way to get around it.

I agree that the film makes it difficult to completely sympathize with any character. Vi's relationship with Marcus is very shallow, but who really deserves such a brutal humiliation? And the irony of her being a victim of her own "non-racism" is pretty rick...
ReplyDeleteI like your description of Scooby as lost in his own body...he is kind of just a body, right? His complete apathy is appalling, and yet like Vi, he didn't deserve his public humiliation, either...
