Days+of+Heaven

“Day’s of heaven” was an interesting film. Overall I did not care for the movie itself. I found the deadly love triangle to be somewhat confusing. The film style was interesting and different than what I am used to seeing. I found that it was following many people’s actions throughout the begging of the work on the farm. It did do well at setting a scene of what a farm life in Texas at the time would be like, especially with the wide use of animals and close up footage of their actions.

The most interesting aspect of the movie, and I believe most important is the narration by the little girl. The whole story is told by her in a Chicago-esk accent. I think what made it interesting was that I found it hard to follow the adult story with her narration. I felt as if it was more about her, and the hard life she had lived through. She does tell the story in past tense, but I don’t see her to be totally omniscient, with a major clue being then ending where she was wishing her friend the best of luck.
