Movie Response - Three Colors: Blue


The movie “Three Colors: Blue” was quite different than what I expected to be. During multiple points in the movie I thought I understood what was going to happen but then there would always be some kind of twist. Kind of like the movie Psycho, what you expected turned into something complexly different. With the movie being in a different language we were all forced to pay very close attention when reading the subtitles. I think this was good because it can be easy for us to fall asleep during a movie, even if it is a good movie. The concept of the movie is still a little unclear for me. I felt like there was no real ending to the movie. Every intense situation that happened in the movie was left for the viewer to make up his or her own conclusion about it. I think the strong sounds in the movie that happened after an intense situation worked very well. I also like the blank screens, but a few times I got confused and thought the blank screen meant that the movie was about to end. Overall I think the duration and intensity of the sounds can make of break your work. This was a great movie to help us understand how sound works in time-based media. For me personally I liked how the blank screens also gave you time to digest what you just saw. It gives you a minute for it all to just sink in.  I want to use this method within my project. Even though the movie was something that I did expect I really enjoyed it. It gets really boring when you can predict a whole movie and this movie did the opposite of that.
