perception?

 

[onza]

ok if i must, this is the definition

Process in which you become aware of objects, events, and especially people through your five senses.

 

[amnesiac]

That has got to be the vaguest request ever.

There's perception in every single movie. Are you looking for one that specifically deals with the concepts and ideas of perception, or what?

What's the actual assignment? No self respecting teacher would make an assignment that vague.

being john malkovich?

 

[onza]

Oh she did, give a 20min presentation on "perception"

 

[psydancerqt]

what are the few that you've thought of? i could think of others after i hear a few

 

[onza]

ones ive thought of so far, is..

Swinger(part when they are going to vegas)
Scrubs episdoe(some doc making fun of a fat guy, and overeating, since he's fat etc..)

thats all that i can think of.

In this definition, is "you" the character in the movie or the person watching a movie?

I know that when I'm watching a movie, I always only use 2 senses.

Do you mean a motif? If so "do the right thing" and "sixth sense" come to mind

movies is just more info for my presentation, to spice things up, i dont want to lecture for 20mins on just text, thats boring..

so i was just getting some movie clips and such.

any drug based movie will prolly suffice. Requiem for a dream. Fear and Loathing in LV.

Actually, any movie could prolly do.

I was trying to come up with suggestions but that's just too vague a request.

If it was narrowed down, like "How does the use of perceptive elements in the movie affect the viewer's experience" -- little less vague, or even better, "How is the director's use of smell and taste used to great effect in a movie."

Donnie Darko

 

[amnesiac]

- Eat Drink Man Woman (smell, taste)
- Chocolat (taste, touch)
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (sight, smell, taste, touch, sound)
- Requiem for a Dream (all 5)
- Being John Malkovich (sight, touch, sound)
- Life is Beautiful (sight)
- Amelie (touch, sound, sight)
- City of Lost Children (touch, sound, sight)
- Scratch (sound, touch)
- Memento (sight)


*edit* thinking of more, gimme a sec

 

[onza]

scenes work too, like saying in an ER episdoe....

Some female homeless person came in, and was always sick and thought she was sick due to an illness but in reality she was pregnant, just becuase she looked sick and was homless, she was in fact pregnant.

something to that nature.

 

[psydancerqt]

what about the ER episode where the spanish mother brings her son in and says, "i followed the directions on the the bottle." the directions were "take once a day." he had overdosed cuz once = 11 in spanish.

perception-not everyone interprets things in the same way

you want something like that??

 

[Atrail]

Crying Game .... lol

 

[onza]

psydancerqt, exactly

George Clooney's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" got it all, Action / Crime / Drama / Comedy

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Great movie. Perhaps the best science fiction film ever made IMO.
