Hanna

Hanna was very different from the rest of the American films that I watch but I could never really put my finger about what was different. I feel as if the just the way the movie was shot and the plot is different then American films. In American films there tend to be closure but in Hanna the closure was killing Marissa but it never showed how Hanna would turn out. Maybe it is the fact that there is a different type of closure in European films then American.

Another thing that I have realize occur in Hanna is that the movement of the actors are beautiful and graceful. When Eric had gotten trapped underground, the fluid action of the last two attackers was in such a grace that it looked like just one solid movement. when the bullets strike the man and the knife that hit the other man so quick it seemed effortless. Also I feel as if when Hanna is with the family see almost becomes more a humane nature and she gets to reach a side of her that she has never grew up with. But after the Dwarf gets her you start to see the switch and the fact that she cannot lose the person she was trained to be.

Dada Feist

Wow! All of the Dada performances were great. I loved the performance group and the dance. I think that the Dada performance seems to really have a message behind everything. I loved how they managed to incorporate Ring Around the Rosie into a message behind all of the acting. The message I got from the whole act was that anybody different had to to be "fixed" or could not be different. That it wasn't accepted in society to be different. OH I just had the whole thought in my head but I forgot. But overall I loved the whole concept of the act. I feel that everyone had incorporated their own definition of Dada making it Dada.

First STAC trip of the year

I was actually skeptical about how this trip would turn out considering how we have so many people this year. I can most definitely say that I was starving by the time we got to the Whitney. I found the sculpture center to be odd but also it didn't need art works in every corner. The building didn't have many artworks but the ones that they did have were interesting. I most definitely loved how some of the artworks were hidden or just very subtle. When the swings started moving above us it was so creepy because you expect there to be a person. I think that the people there have really used the building to its advantage.
For the rest of the trip I wish we would have had more time but despite that I found that the show was amazing. It was also so genius that they can still tell the story with only stage directions. The way they used props were also very simple and it got the point across. I fount the show to be hilarious and I really want to go see part 2.
