Chelsea girls response.

I'll start by saying that to me, Chelsea girls has been the most engaging film that we have watched thus far. Without meaning to be it is a perfect representation of the emotional and behavioral changes that occur while on drugs. We watch the Pope of Greenwich Village get some spike then go on a violent tirade against a harmless young lady. The scene becomes incredible emotional and one cant help but feel they are in the room marinating in the awkward tension. It even has a vivid climax as he pulls her hair and smacks her in the face five or six times. Then we watch as he rationalizes with himself over what he did, then the drugs come back into play and he mellows out. On top of all this we have Nico on the other frame crying softly with no audio. It's an almost perfect juxtaposition as one can switch sides if they become too bored or shocked with the other. It was a brilliant idea to just place a person in that state in front of a camera and see what comes out. Even the lack-luster audio quality seemed to make it more raw and unscripted (even though it was definitely not scripted in the first place.)
