Reflections On Bordwell

The Bordwell article opened up my eyes to all the different views and interpretations people can have about film.  I think that the viewers of films often go into the films thinking that they know what the basic plot is and thereby trying to guess and reveal the underlying plot throughout the film.  In addition, I think that Bordwell's use of the Wizard of Oz example really helps to reiterate and illustrate his point.  I never thought of the way that he portrays The Wizard of Oz, its plot, and the form that it follows.  The pointing out of the form in this movie just made me think of how form is in everything we do.
