Nostalgia - |näˈstaljə; nə-|

As I mentioned in class it took me a while to catch onto what was happening with this film. I'm not sure if this has to do with my physical state after traveling for 24 hours straight. I believe I was still trying comprehend the setting and photographs and image of them burning for a while before i started to pay attention to the voice over. Once i started to realized he was talking about the next picture coming up, the new factor made why slowly rotating mind work over time to comprehend what was happening. I remember thinking it was very simple in the beginning but by the end a was going through this complex process of anticipation. I think i was honestly most interested in the period of time when the voice over ended and the pictures remained on screen burning until it was unrecognizable. Before i realized that he was talking about the next picture i found it very arbitrary and boring. Once i figured out the pattern, this time became so important to the film. This gave me a chance to think about exactly what i was about to see. I found it soo interesting how much more important the waiting period was due to this structure.
