PERSPECTIVE PHOTO REALISM STREET ART

I like most of them, painting on such a large scale to get something look real can be a bit difficult.  These art works can only be enjoyed from looking at a certain distance and appeals mostly for people in a social gathering, parks, etc. I also realize that its the location of the painting that makes a difference. In other words, as real as they look, if most of them were to be mounted in a museum or gallery, many of them would loose their appeal. Their strong point comes due to the fact that they are outside in public areas, and the choice of painting and how it makes the viewer feel as if its real, and how the painting seems as tho its an extention of the ground or wall. These paintings have no frames or borders, and this technique achieves the best illusions. Some are even interactive, like the one with the butterfly and the little boy, i cant tell if the little boy is real. But one must consider that the time of day, and camera angle, has alot to do with how the illusion is shown. I also believe cameras create their own illusion, and sinse i never saw those street art illusions in person i cant tell which way seems more realistic, the eyes in person?  Or the camera that sends the photo to the internet? Very often things look fancier on the screen, but in person looks like crap. It goes both ways, i would like to see them in person, The internet is the master of illusion, with it camera and photo shopped tricks, and in many ways i think art works loose their appeal because of this theory

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM( MY VIEWS

Disturbing movie, I never took drugs, and have never witnessed, addiction of any kind on such an intense level. First thing i realized was the weird camera angles. There is always this close up of the person their expressions, their pain, and then and times u see what they are seeing, the shaking, the blurriness of vision, the visions, etc,  and their is this constant recording of the taking of drugs. It was so often that it forced you to get an idea of what extreme drug addiction was. I found that very effective. In the beginning of the movie there was a subtle addiction, and one could see the progress of it during the entire movie till all hell broke loose in the end, it was chaotic, sad, extremely disturbing. I liked the music, its was  repetative, annoying, and sometimes sad, it was suppose to make u feel somewhat disoriented. Although it was fictional, i still feel a little relaxed because i never took drugs, well alcohol, but not on that intense level, well drunk once, never again, but chhhhhhhhhh, the needles and those hardcore drugs, NEVER for me, I don't know the moral of the story, i guess its to never use drugs. This movie is highly recommended for drug addicts. Best actor was the old woman, she showed a transformation from normal to completely insane from beginning to end, i felt her pain and  the camera helped this effect tremendously, i blame the doctor, don't understand why he would give her pills to send her crazy, for money?  stupes.....  in the end she held her son and said she loved him. That's all she wanted, to be recognized on television for the world to see, but instead she ended in the mad house because of television abuse and drugs, all grey and helpless. Best moment was when the girl was under water, finding peace there i guess, but it was too much pain so she screamed, crazyyyyy, and the second best moment was when the two guys were in jail and the boy said "jesus christ", suffering in pain with the infected arm,  from there to the end was crazyyyyyyy!!!! Then to finish off with what they really wanted was  revealed, and shattered all at once, all they wanted  was to be together, and accomplished,..... as i said before, DISTURBING MOVIE FOR DRUG ADDICTS

MY VIEWS ON BLACK SHACK ALLEY

I normally don't like subtitled movies, especially when its action and you want to see all the  detailed nonstop special effects. This movie didn't loose its essence, even although it was subtitled, the language works, and it helps the feeling of the environment becomes more powerful, a foreign land speaking an unknown tongue, i like that.  The acting and humour was ok i guess but the story was a good one, poverty, suffering, colonization and a means to getting better was throughout the entire movie. The struggle to make one's life better was loud and clear. My favourite actor was the old man that died, his words were moving, almost like the wise grand daddy of them all. In the modern day there isnt that neighbourhood harmony that i saw in the movie, they look out for their own, almost like a tribe, i like that, we now are selfish  and hardly even look out for our own. The movie shows an unending love that a grandmother has for her grandson and her struggles were felt, she reminds me of some mom's these days at least we still have mom's like that around, We need them, strict, hardworking and loving,  she worked a little harder than the average mom because she knew that her life and every sweat of it was to make sure her grandson had a fighting chance in the education system, she understood that education was the key to success in that world she lived in, and if it took her life she wont mind. Although they used to work so hard they still had time to party and dance, i would have been sleeping so hard and although it was a kind of slavery they still sung and rejoiced and gave thanks and knew that in death they would be free from suffering, i liked that. We nowadays are slaves to our mindsets, and they were slaves to their masters and beaten and still found time to rejoice and humble themselves. We nowadays have it so good and argue at everything and think we will live like this forever, fearing death, A dead man tells no tales, he is dead, OVER ALL  the movie was good, funny, sad, powerful, inspirational

  I like the performance and the music, i like the violen one most of all, the last one, its sad. One's ability to manipulate clay to create the lifelike resemblance of a beautiful being with expression is magnificent, its so sad. I would love to be able to do that even if no one wants to buy it i need to do it before i die, something personal, I hate nothing about them maybe they cud have took there time and do an entire body but a face for now is fine. The one with the child is cool showing the aging process just by making marks and lines just like drawing on paper was very helpful. The black back ground works well and the rotatable table helps with even more movement, seeing around the piece. The music and lighting was on point, presentation very well done, these two are my favourite on youtube amongst many more
