Journal 11 - Week of April 9th

The only words that come to my mind with the films we saw this week is disturbing and feminism. Well where can we start with the word disturbing? Is it because I saw women spreading their menstrual blood using tampons all over the film or was it the act of women gathering around to publicly urinate on each other? When I came into class this week I was not prepared to see what I saw on the screen. I do not care if Jennifer said it had to do with acts of the animal side of humans, to rebel against society or a political stand. To me what I saw was smut and I did not find it experimental at all. She seemed very rude at the lecture hall and a witch of a person on film. If I had to chose out of the three sections we saw it would have been her dream sequence. But still in that, she thought of her self as queen. I feel this woman thinks very highly of herself. And I am not saying that is bad, but she does not have to be rude and stubborn about it. Now the word feminism, was it? I guess it was to show that women were more than what they were represented back then when the film was made. Maybe to show they had an animal side like men? Maybe to show that they had rights also? I really can't find a reason why they would subject themselves to do that. Anyways overall I was not really interested in the film and the smut scenes did not provoke me to tell anyone about this film, unless I had to say I saw something disgusting today...
