Superstar response

The beginning shots of Superstar really caught my eye, the color scheme was very strong, and I really would like to imitate the old, faded feel of the colors. At first I wasn't sure how the Barbies were going to pull of such a serious story, but I found myself genuinely concerned about the fate of this Karen Carpenter Barbie. I think that conceptually the Barbies added a layer to the film that people would be unable to add. It seemed to be a comment on the fake fronts America was putting up. Sometimes the film felt like a movie with the random facts about anorexia popping up on the screen, but it worked with the rest of the film, so I didn't mind. Some of my favorite shots were the montages of historical events. Overall, I thought the film was really really clever in how ridiculous it was. It made a really strong statement about the clean fronts US people put up in the 60's put up to cover up the fear and tension that was going on at the time.
