Alright… Well…
\nI should preface this post (and perhaps all my posts) by informing you that I don’t speak a word of spanish…
\nWOW\u00a0THAT’S\u00a0RIDICULOUS! Yeah it is.
\nOkay…
\nI am a Film Studies major though and I’m going to try and slog it out.
\nSo,
\nFor that reason my observations will lean towards the aesthetic elements of these films and whatever else I can soak up…
\nSorry if I repeat anything that was said in class by someone else but I didn’t understand a word any of you said.
\nPerfect.<\/p>\n

\nlanguage comprehension. Visual cues (the three marks on the chest) helped denote the primary character, facial
\nexpressions revealed character emotion (confusion in the dream), vocal inflections did the same, music set the tone,
\nand the editing\/shots conveyed the basic story elements.
\nIn fact, I felt very confident regarding the narrative and that surprised me.
\nUnfortunately,
\nThe comedic elements of the film were lost on me, aside from visual sight gags such as the chair collapsing or the
\npoliceman entering. The comedy seemed to be very quick, punchy dialogue that naturally requires a strong sense
\nof timing. If the film were to be subtitled in English, the comedic impact would be dulled down, if not lost completely.
\nOkay, that was my impression.
