I really enjoyed the history lesson we got in class. It really helps to understand what the artisits were thinking and what motivated them to do the things they did with art. I learned about this group of artists including Gertrude Stein in my Women of the 1800's Literature. She was a member of this group of artisting pushing the limits for their time. She was a writer and I have to say I did not enjoy the poems she did during the Cubism Dada stage but it was interesting to see and hear about the connections to the films we saw by her buddies.
I normally do not like Surrealism art or films but I really enjoyed Entr' Acte by Clair, I think he took us on a little fun journey, the baloon heads were interesting and I thought the people following the casket was funny as they started to run faster and faster. Maybe I'm just silly but I found it entertaining and interesting, wacky and very dreamlike, it was probably the most enjoyable film so far this course.
