but why…

I’ve decided that all of the Morris films leave me wondering what I am supposed to think about them and the people involved. There are so many things and clips that, while I am watching, I really want to talk to someone about. My friends are really annoyed by me going on and on about these movies, especially because it is hard to explain unless they have seen it. It’s hard to express and pinpoint all of the subtlties that make some of the scenes so intense. I feel like everything is constructed and every shot was debated over, but then I don’t know why. In one scene in Gates of Heaven, there is a shot where someone’s head fits right into an archway in the background. I have no idea if it was just a coincidence, but because it lasts awhile I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t have noticed. If I picked up on it then it’s pretty obvious…. but why? I think I keep asking myself that over and over. Why were the captions at the end of Thin Blue Line postitioned in a certain place? Why was the tape recorder shown from so many different angles? I wish I had clearcut answers.
