Document Summary
Neighbors by norm mclaren (a film maker in canada) The thesis of the first lecture was neighbors was a film worthy of the name. Where as most films out of hollywood are not. They are advertised as a film, has superficial . The film is not a film unless it is art. It was different from the film making of the time. It was a great film because it has aura, great. It had enduring shock value (babies being kicked). It was a disturbing scene that was shocking so we remember it well. It shows violence is not funny but the film is. The film does a great job of playing the fool. The fool in medieval time was like the kings private clown. If they oppose there is chance for opposition, and the king does not want that. Film makers worthy of the name are modern day fools.
