Victor's Film.

I was so pleasantly surprised just how good the movie we watched. At first, when Victor aid it was an animated film I thought "oh great this is going to be useful" and when it started, my fears were confirmed as the video looked very "comic booky". However, as the movie went on, I realized just how powerful the movie really was. In addition. I don't feel like the movie would have had the same powerful meaning or given us the same image if it was created using traditional methods (live action). Personally, I don't think I would have been able to watch over an hour of live action footage of innocent peole being slaughtered, its kind of like watching films about the holocaust. In a way, the animation kind of dehumanizes what is really going on but not in a bad way. He nature of the film allows us to see what is going on without tugging at our heart strings by showing us actual footage of people dying or being murdered, that is, until the end. I think the short clip of live footage at the very end of the movie was just enough to make what we saw real. Without this segment of film, the animated portion would seem like just a cartoon made for adults. The live film really drives home the images and meanings portrayed in the film itself.
