So Angles die - Chris Prowant

            Watching the film So angles die was interesting. Personally not one of my favorites, but I can see why this film go acclaim there simply because of the controversy it brings up with France and Sengal. It is showing how French life is much different then African life and that once you live in France you almost get spoiled by it so that when you return you are looked at as an outcast. Even in the film Mory kept giving people things from France and all it ended up doing was hurting those people in the end. Another point I think it was trying to get across was that you can't be both. Mory tried being both by going to France and then returning, but upon returning he was a different person and shunned by some of the people. The only part of the film I did not like was when Mory's father cuts off his toes. Its just the entire scene did not make sense due to its build up and my perspective as an American, as well the music was awful. The music was so upbeat sounding and played during almost every scene that it ruined what I think the scenes point was. Other the that the film was Alright, not my favorite film we have seen so far, but still alright.

            One thing I did want to comment on was this films reflection on women. IT was very odd that during the entire film it felt like women were just things, not people. I think a great scene that exemplifies this, is the one near the end where Mory is talking to the girls father after he let the German marry her instead. Literally in the background of the scene you see a lot of men carrying boxes with things like TVs, Computers, and radios. This is good symbolism because as they talk the father is explaining how he is getting something out of having her daughter marry the German. While Mory explains that it is not love, the father just ignores his wishes and even his daughters and forces the marriage. This is a very interesting look at women simply because it seems that they look at women as possession. Something you can trade and get something else in return for which is truly wrong and I'm glad films like this our bringing it to light because it needs to be addressed.
