Earlier this week we watched the Prisoner. It was a confusing episode, but I liked it much better than last week's episode with the election. Its like I want to not like the Prisoner because it is so confusing and doesn't make any sense at some points. But I can't because I like how it is confusing, it makes you think. I hate lazy entertainment, where you don't have to put any effort in. With the Prisoner, it constantly forces you to pay attention. Its like a thriller in a way, you are always at the edge of your seat and on the tips of your toes. If I had to pick a model episode to summarize what the prisoner is so far, this would be the one I would pick. I know that picking just one is pretty much impossible because they are all so different, but I think that this episode had the perfect amount of mystery and craziness with a reasonable plot behind it.
We had two days of STAC art today to work on the Busby Berkley projects. I did this exact project freshmen year in Gane's art class, but I am glad that I'm doing it again. I can already see how my art has progressed since the beginning of high school.
We also watched To Sir With Love on Firday. At first, I thought that the movie was predictable and that there was nothing fresh and new about it. But then I realized that it was made years before the movies that I was comparing it to. It was the original and all the ones that came after it are predictable because they took from this movie. I'll include more about this in my review.
I am noticing that you are a person who's thoughts and likes lie along the edge of everything. You wish The Prisoner wasn't confusing but you like it because it is. This sounds lik how you contradict yourself in your essay.
ReplyDeleteI think this is an important point.
