The Mirrors

This film was weird. I have got to say this was a bad film to me, I didn’t like it. I didn’t like how we really didn’t know any of the characters names. I think one maybe two names were mentioned. When the film starts off it just starts off and to me with no plot. I was very difficult to understand, but I think he did it on purpose after reading the book and then watching the film. Let’s start with the movie. There is a part in the beginning and sometimes throughout the movie when the characters just stare right at the camera and it makes it look like they are staring straight at you, almost hinting towards a horror movie and stuff. Some others things like the barn catching on fire randomly and looking at the wind blow in the grass. It shows some similarities the things that hint towards a horror film in our generation to. The one thing that stood out to me was who the movie would be in color at one frame then it will be black and white the next. I thought it was pretty cool adding more affect to the horror movie.

  1. I also noticed how they stared at the camera kinda creepily. Tarkovsky would probably make some really good horror films.

  2. I as well commented on the similiarities to our horror flicks..in the barn scene when the man and the woman stood staggered with their backs to the camera was very creepy...and the scene where shes washing her hair reminded me of the ring or something...
