this post is in regards to my October 24th class on non-narrative stories
Hey non-narrative stories how you doing? Oh, you're not making any sense again? That's cool... You're just gonna tell me a story that doesn't make much sense and I'm not sure how it relates to your life? That's fine... No, I wasn't doing anything important, just watching Gangnam Style again for the 13th time. Yes, I know it was popular a month ago. Yes, I know that Thrift Store is 'in' right now. Yes, I know that you're telling me things about your life that doesn't make any sense.
Okay fine, two can play at this game.
Hey check it out I make movies.
Here's something I made.

How about another video?
Yeah, non-narrative story this is my non-narrative story. Deal with it. It's a story it's just not narrative. It's a story about my day there's just no narrative elements to it!
Also in class I was theorizing that Dziga Vertov's Man With a Movie Camera was experimenting with montage stuff similar to Eisenstein's works. Well I was wrong. Vertov and Eisenstein kinda hated each other and thought each other were morons... Also, during the Communist reign in Russia all 'forms' or 'genres' of film were banned as the government viewed them as not driving the point of communism across (it should be noted that Stalin was a film buff and loved collecting certain kinds of films).
So because of that we get to see the greatness of Vertov and Eisenstein, they were forced to make films that didn't fit a mold. Heh, they were kind of like hipsters with their ideas of not fitting the mold, however these guys were faced with death if they didn't follow the orders of the government whereas modern hipsters just kinda get made fun of if they fit a certain stereotype.
I should define a hipster... Here it is... from this source here
1. a person who is hip.
2.
3.
a person, especially during the 1950s, characterized by aparticularly strong sense of alienation from most establishedsocial activities and relationships.
