"Girl In Red"

Ok to Start out when I try to analyze a film I like to have to see it more than once. This is because that I feel that the first time I'm exposed to a piece of work I like to soak it in and just get the basics of what's happening in a movie. Then I like to watch it a second, third or how many times it takes to analyze it. So My problem with trying to blog abt this is that I haven't had the second experience to watch it and yes I did look online for the movie but I couldn't find it.
so by going on what I saw and its probably going to be nothing that deep.

Ok I'm just going to jump in and say that the out of this whole movie I don't remember most of it but there was one part that just stuck out to me and I don't know exactly what it means but here it goes.

the part of the movie is the part where it looks like she is wiping a tear from both the moving face and the still face. Now I don't know what that means but it really stuck out to me and I definitely think it means something and I have an idea but let me talk for awhile and then ill try to make a connection.

Ok I not sure if we talked abt this in class or not but I feel that this is a display of either "Masks" you know how people put up masked to hide on who they actually are. I think it shows this because the person underneath is really dead and not moving and the artist is trying to give the impression that there is life in this child through the color and movement of this child.

The other idea I had was the loss of innocence of a child. Because again with death the child is dead underneath and when people look at this child they think of a child who is innocent, happy, lively, and cute but the truth which lie underneath is really the opposite which is dead and motionless and depressing.

Now when the girl wipes the tear I believe that this is a tranfer between both realms. And if we go with the mask idea that it is showing part of how she really feels underneath or a slip of that mask.

For the other viewpoint that it is a loss of innocence it really can just really represent the same thing that this girls underneath is really broken and this is a physical manisfestation of that brokenness and she's letting it out

Hey guys let me know what you think

One thing that I always thought was awesome and horrible at the same time it the phrase "Once and artist creates a piece a work with a meaning behind it and shows it to an audience, it doesn't matter what the artist wanted it to mean but it's how the audience interprets the piece" and even if the audience is totally off there is still a message being relayed through this art piece and the artist no longer has control of this piece

Just a thought

Peace Guys
