fav subject


My favourite subjet of this semester is cine. It’s very interesting and I enjoy watching movies and instead of just pass by the details, I can have the tools to analyze them.
The teacher that give us the classes is Miguel Ángel Vidaurre , he’s a cool teacher and you can notice that he loves what he does. I like the fact that he’s also a filmmaker, instead of just had a “theory way” of thinking.
The central topic of the classes is based on a specific process of doing movies, something that he’s investigating and developing right now, called the “ominous thing” or sinister. One very clear example to clarify this term are the David Lynch’s movies.
Already you know that its not the traditional way of embrace movies. Mostly of people like mainstream cinema because it’s based on the argument and the plot, not in the image (the image in the developing of movies in the case of this subject is the most important). So, the ominous things it can be translate into the game of the elements that aren’t necessarily compelled to the argument. The mainly thing is to can play with stuff like the sound and colours in order to create an strange environment, that instead of produce and repose mood (like most of the mainstream cinema do, because the argument had explications to the mysteries, in the sinister opposite of it, the mysteries remains ) the give the spectators nerves, because the story its cant be closed at all.

  1. Hi Marlies, I think Miguel Angel Vidaurre is a good professor if you want to learn something about cinema, especially about classic films.

    The last year I took 2 semesters with him, and I'm not his fan, but I learned a few interesting things.

    See you!

  2. Hey, Marlies. I liked Vidaurre's classes, they were relaxing and stimulating. Even when I'm not very into movies, Vidaurre knows how to transmit his love for Cinema.
