Crappy Movieee


Yesterday at Film And Art's class, our lecturer forced us to sit through another one of her boring-two-hours-long movie (if you can even call it a movie. It looked like something National Geography would show. No kiddingg..!) I wanted to just skip the movie and go homee so badlyy.. But the lecturer said that there would be a quiz on the movie later.. So i was forced to sit through the stupidly boring movie for like 2 hours.. My friend was already sleeping and drooling beside me by the time the movie JUST started.. Yeeahh thats how freakishly boring it iss..



The socalledmovie started out with this red-faced monkey that was sitting (or standing.. Cant tell..) in a hot spring.. For like 10 to 15 minutes, thats all it showed.. The monkey just sitting there and staring, enjoying the hot springg..










Then finally the scene changed.. It doesnt get better though.. It just suddenly showed these bunch of people praying while facing a huge wall and all of them went to kiss this silver lock that was hanging on the wall.. Eeiiuuu muchh??! I mean how unhygienic!! ALL OF THEM WERE KISSING THE SAME LOCK WITH THEIR MOUTH..!! Eeeyuucckkk!!





Well.. I dont think i should tell you the whole movie.. Cause you're probably already falling asleep by noww..? Haha!! Oh and the movie has nobody talking, like at all..!






And then finally came the quiz on the movie and what we learnt from the lecture before the movie..





So the first question was like asking what is the subject, form, and content in this film..?


Well, subject is actually asking about what motivated the artist to make this film (i think).. And i was like thinking to myself.. " Like heck i would know right??!! Go ask the freaking artist him/herself if you wanna knoww so much that it worths 10% of my gradee!! "..


And then the second question was asking, from the four meanings we just learnt (symptomatic, explicit, implicit, and referential) which meaning is applied in this film..?


So i was thinking of using explicit and implicit.. Explixit means it shows something clear and obvious.. While implicit means something hidden and has other meanings.. And the first thing that came to my mind was the red-faced monkey sitting in the hot spring.. Then once again i thought to myself.. " So does the freaking red-faced monkey sitting in the hot spring have a hidden meaning behind it, or is it just obvious that it was trying to take a freaking bath to clean itself up, but end up having someone invade its privacy by filming it in its most private moments??!! "



If i score even ONE mark from this quiz, i'd jump up and down screaming like a mad woman out of happiness..!!






" Heeelllppp meee...! I'mm gooonnaaa faaaiiill thisss subjeccttt..!! "
