Sara- Bill Viola "The Reflecting Pool"
Uses water as a motif. Influenced by zen buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Focuses on Dualism as well.
This video was interesting but sort of tedious. I got tired of watching just a pool, but I actually found myself enjoying the sounds around outside, etc. It reminded me of being outside.
He uses symbolism. When the three drops of water drop from him in the air when he hasn't even gotten wet yet, was symbolism about how he doesn't have to physically be in the water to be "submerged" and "submersed".
Will- Spike Lee "The 25th Hour"
Likes how he tackles controversial issues (ethics, morality, racism).
I found it extremely interesting that there were so many racial and controversial slangs and terms and words towards all types of people contrasted at the end with the words fuck you written out on the mirror. I didn't like when it said "fuck you" j.c. because I am a Christian but I guess that just shows that he has achieved what he was going for. Hitting most constroversial issues.
