Sabastian's Voodoo

I thought the video of the upset little girl, throwing the temper tantrum was very interesting today. It was interesting to be able to see how things were perceived in her mind, when she was angry. And then, how in the end she felt better from venting, and gave her mom a hug. I thought it was good to be reminded of how children feel and see things differently from adults often times. The little girl saw a bunch of adults pointing their finger at her, and making her feel small. In actuality, that is probably not the case, but as a child that is what she felt. But in the end, she realizes that those people are still there for her, and love her, even when she is upset with them. I think the video just had a good concept to it.

I really enjoyed the films we watched today in class, that were made by the Canadian National Film Board. So, I looked up some more films from them today, and I came across this video called Sebastian's Voodoo. I know, it sounds a little odd, right? Well, I watched it and it is a beautiful film. I'm not sure I grasp the whole understanding of what is going on it, but what I think is going on, is this man is torturing these voodoo dolls, and one of them ends up sacrificing himself to save one of his fellow voodoo doll friends. He has to kill himself, in order for the other ones to be saved. Watch it!!
