Response to Inaguration of the Pleasure Dome

Now that you have a Blogger account, start your own blog dedicated to this class and post a response to Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome.

This film was of course very strange and both somewhat interesting and disturbing all at once. The imagery of the green ogresk creature was both a little confusing and a little creepy. I liked the use of superimposing shots, and the color schemes.
The color is what seemed to propel the emotion of the film the most, especially the second half when it used the reds. I did not fully understand it, actually to be completely honest I barely understood it. The idea I got from the title and the film was that people throughout history, back to Egypt and Rome, were tempted with “pleasure.” They succumb to these taunts and where punished for it going to a fire colored end.
I do not completely understand what he intended to convey with the title, specifically what the “pleasure dome” is. Is that supposed to be the Earth, or is it the bubble that people create around themselves to retain the “pleasure” for themselves. It was interesting, but in my opinion just a little long and not as good as Fireworks.
The themes and meaning that I inferred from Fireworks seemed much easier to see and understand than Pleasure Dome, and by such this is what made it better, in my opinion. The one thing I really liked, going back to the color, was its vivid palette. The colors seemed to pop from the screen and was again, in my opinion, very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
