History of Film Odyssey

   It really was a great pleasure to watch Film Odyssey in class today. It engaged me on every level emotionally as well as intellectually although it dealt with broad topics. Pretty much everything from George Meilles and early cinema was shown in this documentary and interpreted quite well for the average film buff to watch.  It showed the art of foreign cinema as well dealing with Japanese classic films and how they are highly relevant in todays cinema. I really liked how it gave pretty much all the directors I wanted a chance to shine and be explained. I like how they gave references to movies like The Matrix and its relevance to other movies of the past. Goes to show everything is derived from something. It makes me appreciate the history of my art once more and to know where it came from.
