' A MOVIE' movie?

 'A MOVIE' is a short film by Bruce Conner from 1958. It is the first movie that he as ever produced. It is a type of collage, composed of several famous films. When I first watched this movie, I really got confused. I thought all the scenes had no connection to each other. The beginning of the film was very confusing. It was like if this movie doesn't have any order! For instance, why would you put the sign ' THE END' to the beginning? Why title of the movie is keep appearing? And then there was this sign saying' End of part Four' ?


 After watching this film several times, I realized that it is actually consisted of several parts. Each part has a different music, different environment and different action. The common thing about all of these parts that they were all in outside space. The story for all these different parts are based on human activities. The aim of the film was to show the relationship between human action to the environment. The scene that I found the most interesting was where people doing some movements at the city. Here is a screenshot that I took:

In this scene, these two people are above the city looking downwards while making a rotation.
