Homework 4

               As far as the production of the film, I found it interesting that they reproduced an older version of the video and overlapped the new version with the original. It provided a different prospective to the same subject based on the different time periods that the both videos take place in. However, the information that was provided in this video was difficult to grasp.

                The flow of the film wasn't smooth and it gave a lot of information at once. I think that the spectacle's affect on society is an interesting topic. It was defined by the video as "a social relation between people that is mediated by images." The video went further into detail about how the spectacle affects society, but it was hard to take in all the information about it. Some of the information seemed irrelevant/unimportant to the idea of the spectacle. For instance, the entire concept of social dreaming, "as long as necessity is socially dreamed, dreaming is a social necessity."
