Dark City

 We have just started the film Dark City in class. I am incredibly impressed with the cinematography of the film, the first thing I thought of when the film started is how much the cinematography reminds me of Watchmen. The scenes are so intensely filmed where everything has some kind of meaning. The setting is so cynical  and dark and the plot line is so intriguing. Yet certain parts of the film are so disturbing, such as when they show the men being hung or when his head gets chopped off. I also really liked how they contrasted how the man is a killer yet he stops to save a goldfish. Could that say something about humanity? That were not purely good or bad but that in the best of people there could be a bad trait and in the worst of people the best one.
