Rush 6

In the film Meet me in St. Louis, I selected the Elevated fish bowl that was depicted in the living room while she spoke on the phone and looked out the window. Though I'm not sure what question I can apply to this to properly illustrate the Mobius strip I selected a backup gram, the piano, just in case! This piano is in the room adjacent to the dining room! At a critical turning point in the film, the father announces that they will be packing up everything they own, and moving to the Big Apple! He has just received a promotion and will be earning much more money to put his girls through college. The family is upset by this and claim they do not want to move to New York City, everything and everyone they have ever known is in Missouri! Soon after everyone storms off, pouting at their new found reality, the mother sits down at the piano and begins to play a tune that her husband knows. He begins to sing a tune and she lowers the octave and he digs in. After the first phrase the rest of the family begins to emerge and join him in the front room with cake in hand and they all have a great boost in morale and spirits! The question I pose has to do with this small interaction, what would the entire transition look like from their current home to New York city had they not all been apart of their fathers song? What would that night, their holiday, or the rest of the film been like had they all held their angst toward their father and his executive decision?

Rush #4

My gram from "The Smiling Lieutenant"was the giant window he sat in front of while he was waiting outside the King's jury room, awaiting a sentence. And my gram from "Footlight Paradise" was the sign on his door that read "President". These two things correlate due to the fact that they both represent status, and nobility. The window was very decretive, large, white, hand carved and the word "president" on a plaque clearly shows that you are the authority in the building. Though one was much more out right than the other you clearly got the impression that the Lieutenant was in a place of royalty, wealth, and class. These grams are helping me fill in some back story to the plot line.
