Satire or Irony?

WOW!!!! LA JETEE,

What an awesome film, the usage of the still imaging gives a huge understanding of the movie. Through the images we can learn the exact feelings of the characters while also feeling like we have become part of the scene. Each image gives the viewer enough time to process and individually interpret the picture and the film. Although the clips are not the ordinary motion pictures you still are able to connect with the film on another level. The background music provides us (the viewer) with space to roam wondrously as our body starts to move and experience the same feelings as the character in the film.

Satire or irony? This hopeless romantic goes through excruciating pain to fabricate the thoughts or the idea of being in another place as his sole desire is to be with the woman he loves. His desperate want to be with his female lover is the fire that motivates him to return to this painful heaven. Painful indeed, as you watch him squirm, biting the top of the hammock, his eyes tightening up and his hands clench the sides of the hammock. Through that you can picture the pain a person goes through as they accept that perhaps their love cannot be possible.

The story unveiled as a tragic love story that could not be, who would think that a man could see his own death, none the less repeat it? If you look deeper into the images/film you can relate the story to a tragic time in history. Take the holocaust for example; the Jewish people lived in fear of dying everyday as they could only wish that the next to die was not him/her. Perhaps that of a hopeful refugee who so devotedly searches for the next spot to rest as he/she flees in search to free him/herself from the day to day despair and humiliation. The strong soul that runs knowing there is trouble ahead, and at any point in time will catch up to him/her. Wondering, how will I survive no food, no money and no home? The mere thought of survival soothes the soul as it is scarred for life, after watching yourself run away from your own death. Unwillingly watching your own death unveil right before your eyes, attempting to keep optimistic thoughts, as you know the end is very near.

Who would have thought that a small point and shoot camera, a person buys just for everyday pictures can be packed with so many features? Often many of us purchase a camera not thinking to use it for anything other than pointing it, centering the subject and pressing the capture button. Well there is a lot more than just that to these easy to carry cameras.

Yes it is a very small camera, so the ergonomics may not be as appealing to someone with big hands, or someone looking for a camera they can have a good grip on.
