The Ascent

I finally got "The Ascent" downloaded and watched that. It was very interesting and while "interesting" is a very generic word I still think it was that. When you look at it through the Soviet propaganda perspective it makes a lot of sense because of the themes of loyalty to the Motherland and the pain that traitors must suffer for their weaknesses.

I was a bit disappointed because I thought the movie would have a broader scope than that (probably because I am used to American movies, like "Enemy At The Gates") but because this movie works on a smaller scale it is able to provide a more in depth analysis of those topics.

I'm still seeding the movie and it seems like people are downloading it, so maybe some of my classmates are going my route.

So far I have checked out "Badlands", "Playtime", and "The Ascent" but on Sunday I might check out the other two. I guess today is Sunday.

"Playtime" was pretty unappealing as a movie, actually. Although, there seems to be good design potentials here.

Also I am posting an image of some clouds I made to go on my video, at the end actually. So I will be finishing that up today also. They are scary clouds.
