Report
“Report” is
another one of the many wonderful experimental movies on the List… ahem…
While the
soundtrack consists of tv and, presumably, radio reports on and around the
murder of John F. Kennedy, the visuals is an odd mix of tv clips from the
shooting and short clips of all sorts. Some of these clips relate to death and
destruction while others are of a more peaceful nature.
The whole
thing lasts 13 minutes.
I did not
dislike this movie, which is a huge improvement over most of the experimental
movies on the List, but I cannot say that I actually get it.
The murder
on John F. Kennedy was a major event and this is obviously at the core of this
film. It is tempting to think it is a media critique, relating to the coverage and
even obsession with the murder, but I suppose it is open for interpretation.
I watch
this with a bemused interest, but it does not generate anything but a slight
uncomfortability, telling me that life can be hard and brutal.
There is
not much else for me to say about “Report”.
