Mirror

This was a strange film. I honestly couldn't say that i knew what was going on. Although i may have been lost in the story a few things really caught my attention. The Film switches between color and black and white often. This ether represents a dream or a flash back. Each time the film would go to black and white there would be lots of water. From raining to washing to a room flooding, each time had something to do with water. Another thing that caught my eye was the wind in this film. In the beginning of the film, when the man stops by to ask for directions, he looks back slowly and the wind picks up and moves all the grass. The wind had almost an eerie feel to it. Another time, near the beginning, the camera shows the boy waking up and then cuts to a glimpse of wind moving the grass again. This time it looks like some invisible thing is moving through the grass. Something that really confused me was the whole building on fire. It kept going back to it and i couldn't figure out why so much importance was placed on it. Another thing that really confused me was when the boy was in the apartment alone and sees what I'm guessing were ghosts. They make him read for them and then they disappear. I don't know why this was added into the movie but it did confuse me quite a bit. Overall i actually kind of enjoyed this movie because even though i  was confused i was intrigued by how strange this movie was.
