Today in the 4th Jim Bonnie workshop we worked more into the idea of mask, the fake emotion we put out to hide our real emotions. I always had the idea of mask in mind since I watched this one anime called 'His & Her Circumstances', I watched it a long time ago but I remember it being about a girl who acted as the smart honor student in school, but at home she acted like a completely different, crazy girl, and then she finally met somebody she could open up to so the had a scene where her face is a mask and it falls off and cracks.
As for the Charlie Chaplin film, that would make my 2nd time watching a silent movie, so that was fun. I think you get more expression and feeling out of that movie than a movie with words, words ruin everything. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the movie, but I ended up really liking it.
Well, I'm kind of tired now, so I'll stop here, but have fun anybody going to Italy!
All good directors speak of always making a silent movie, but it just happens to have dialog. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteHow does that apply to painting and art?
How are you doing with painting?
