The following blog is a chronicle of the films I'm studying for my Spring 09' semester of school. As per teacher's request, it also includes most of what I watch between assignments. Feature films I'm assigned to watch for my "History of Film 2" class require a 150+ word review. Enjoy.

Return of the Fearsome Fangs!


"Rashomon" (feature clip)
Dir: Akira Kurosawa
Premiered: 12/26/1951
Viewed: 2/23/09
Compare/Contrast Comment: Rashomon and Ugetsu seem to both portray women not just as victims, but as victims of their mates. Also they both portray other women as seductresses, not unlike in American Film Noir. Both films deal in death, in that characters are kbnown to act beyond the grave. Truth and pain seems to be at the forefront of great tragedy as well as comedy. The two are studied in depth in these films.
