THX 1138

   What's more interesting than loud noises and white people? Anything. Of course, because of the films more interesting plots, critics and other cult fanatics are extremely attracted to this movie. Similar to 2001: A Space Odyseey, this film really makes the auidence kind of question what the hell is going on throughout the entire film. Yes, we kind of get the concept, escaping this idealistic, perfect, constructed world in order to feel different and free... But why did the filming and acting have to be so uncomfortable awkward? I sensed a bit of depression throughout the film, which kind of equaled out due to all of the vibrant white walls and clothing.
   The characters in the film were all similar when it came to emotions. This was not too interesting to me since all the characters could have been the same person in the same situation if they really wanted to be set free. The most interesting character would probably be the one black man in the film, since he seemed to have more emotion than most others... And he knew how to smile. I enjoyed his character and also enjoyed how badly he wrecked his car while driving it for about 4.2 seconds.
  I noticed the entire film was filmed inside buildings, and even the car chase was all inside. Yeah, its because they were underground. Like mentioned in the reading, at the end of the film, the sun signified freedom. It was the only time the audience saw the outside and we knew that thx was finally free and gone from that total hell hole of a life. I think it was interesting that they were all white and everything was white, which kind of meant purity. Since they didn't want any sexual activities going on down below, i think that the white kind of pinpointed that.
   Overall, the film was pretty intense and just a little weird throughout. I compared it to 2001, because it was kind of random and weird just like that. I was not a fan of this film, but I do think it was one of the more interesting films we have watched so far. It definitely kept my attention, unlike 2001 where the scenes were way too long and drawn out.
