What I'm getting at, is that since Film Class is about critiquing films and filmmaking...how would a different camera technique (or whatever) changed the movie for the better for you?
Just wondering...I saw this for the first time all the way through the other night, and will be putting in my .02.

For me it has the feeling of being in someone else's house and the way they live makes you uncomfortable. I know that sounds like a bad analogy, but that is the best way to describe it. Almost claustrophobic. The frame seemed often cluttered to me and it seems to carry on with the film stock and style of the late 70s, it just looks dirty (not that 83 is far from the late 70s). I don't know how else to explain the negative effect. It has nothing to do with the story, etc. but that film is like the sniffling, skinny nerd that always seems to have a cold in grade school. Nice enough kid, but being around him gives you the willies.
