What an Ugly Cover.

I haven’t been very vocal in class or on the blog this week, Portrait Of Jennie just doesn’t interest me that much. It’s not even a matter of whether I like it or hate it, I just find the whole art/soulmate struggle to be not worth arguing about. Everyone in class on Friday seemed to have very different definitions of what a soul mate is. If we can’t all get on the same page together, how can we progress. I’m just anxious to get past this and arrive at Vertigo. I did like seeing Joseph Cotten in a movie that hasn’t stayed in the collective cultural consciousness the way that Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons, Shadow of a Doubt, or The Third Man has. It allows a different angle of the actor. My favorite thing in the film is when they’ll turn the shot into a painting with what I guess is a filter. But in terms of plot, I don’t even feel like approaching it.
