i found it really interesting that someone commented on the title and it's reference to the events in the film. It makes sense though, "many small dreams, all connected in the family."
I really loved the fact that music was used sparingly, and that if there was a n absence of music, there was sounds of nature conflicting with the sounds of machinery; a theme of what the Depression was all about. The theme song, or at least the song that comes on whever somthing important happens or something sorrowful happens, i've actually heard before. I can't exactly pinpoint where I've heard it before, but I want to say the 90's cartoon, Rugrats, specifically Tommy's mom humming it.
Anyways, another aspect of the film i really like was the dramatic lightin used on Henry Fonda's character; I loved the lighting in the scene in the abandoned house at the beginning, and the scenes where Tom reunites with Casy and When Tom kills the man that killed Casy. Those night shots were really dramatic and really, in my eyes, artistically juxtaposed.

The theme song is "Red River Valley," Royce; it's an old American folk song with themes of loss and departure.
ReplyDeleteI liked that lighting, too. The first few scenes make the audience tense and uneasy--what's going on? The lighting helps tremendously with making those episodes dramatic.
