Drunken Angel

I didn't know what to expect from the movie going into it. After watching Drunken Angel, I didn't know what to think. I had trouble following the plot a bit and was only concentrating on that aspect. After we had the discussion afterwards, I felt like I wasn't even watching the same movie as everyone else. People seemed to pick up on symbols, metaphors and meanings very quickly and I realized that I missed all those things when I was watching. 

I felt like an awful DMA student. It's hard to process and analyze a film on the first take. I always found that multiple viewings made me think on a deeper level, and I would find things that I missed the first or second time. To me, the first time I watch a movie I just try to understand the story and the characters. The second time I watch something is always easier for me to pick up those things since I don't have to concentrate so hard on story. 

After having the discussion though, I appreciated the film more and want to someday revisit it. I applaud all of you who caught all the meanings the first go around. Excited to watch more!
