Fiction- I didn’t really care for this part of the film. I didn’t like the main character Vi, I found her very two faced and full of it. Vi is all upset about what went down with her and her professor and writes a story to make people feel sorry for her and she kind of insinuates that what happened to her was rape. I don’t feel sorry for her at all and don’t believe what happened with her and the professor was rape. I think she knew what she was getting herself into the second she sat down with the professor at the bar and she may not have liked how he treated her while they were having sex but she knew the kind of person he was when she saw the pictures of the other girls he’s been with in the bathroom. If she didn’t want to have sex with him she could have left and I don’t think it would have been racist. I just think Vi tries to play this cool persona but really she’s just trying to get attention.
Non-Fiction- I liked this part of the film a lot better than Fiction. I found the characters a lot more entertaining and the ending of the film was deffinatly very unexpected. I thought the best part of the film had to of been the little brother. The things that came out of his mouth were so rude and ridiculous it was like he had no filter. The movie was different at some parts I couldn’t stand the family especially the way they treated the maid she would cook them dinner then sit in the kitchen and eat alone while the family ate together and then at the end of the film I felt sorry for the family. The family was snobbish and treated their maid poorly but they didn’t deserve to all be murdered. I especially feel sorry for Scooby the director of the documentary made him out to look stupid and he has lost his entire family.
I’m excited to watch hamlet this week I have read the play and have seen a two different films portray the book. I think it will be very interesting to see a modern day take of a classic Shakespeare novel. I saw the modern version of Romeo and Juliet and liked it a lot so I’m hoping for the same experience in this film.

I hope you can talk about your strong reading of Vi in class this week. Does your disgust at Vi colour your whole perception of this part of the film?
ReplyDeleteAlso, your more nuanced take on Nonfiction will be interesting to think and talk more about. On the one hand this is the less nuanced (cartoonish) section of the film, on the other, it brought forth the most ambivalent feelings from you...
