Dear+Zachary

Class notes 4/18 (recorded by Matt Schadt):

Getting punched in the stomach hurts, the raw emotion of the movie and reactions to it. How no fictional character in any movie’s feelings compares to the dad’s sadness with the loss of Zachary. Whatever floats your boat… usually water, the pure emotion felt when Zachary is missing. Comparing of the death of Andrew and Zachary, the effectiveness of red tint in the film when they fin out that Zachary is dead to add a major effect, along with the dad in rage. The sound of Kurt’s voice is fast an monotone… almost as if he was going to break down. The effects on people have on other people, and how someone can change the future, showing it’s a wonderful life and dear Zachary back to back both argue the point that each individual life has an effect on the world, we all have a place. The crushing endings of both movies. Stupid Canadians, the legal systems, and the confusion that she was even considered for bail, and why she wasn’t extradited to the U.S. faster. Family, value of life, and the (in) Justice system.
