Film Project: Batt's Class
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Surfer Girl - Homegrown
In other news, Im going to work on another little film project. Its going to be for Mr. Batts class, and is supposed to discuss the meaing of life. I dont even know the meaning of life, other than really the search for the meaning i guess. I donno.. Love maybe? Happiness? Self-fulfillment? So yeah, since I obviously cant say what it is to me at this point, I atleast can say what it isnt to me. SOO... Thats where Memento comes into play. I was really moved by the scene when Leonard takes all his wifes old stuff, like the stuffed bear, comb, and her favorite book, and brings it to some non-descript motel. There, he hires a female escort, and has her pretend to be his wife. When he falls asleep, he forgets about setting all that up, and he wakes up. He is trying to re-inact that night when she died. He goes into the bathroom and finds the girl doing crack. He gets mad and leaves. He then burns all her stuff in some construction site while the sun rises. I was thinking to have a premise like that for my video. Just showing someone going through a bunch of different lifestyles, each time waking up into another, each one different than the last, with no recollection at all. I think that by showing what life isnt to me, I can show what it is. I just cant really put it into words so far.
