The week we saw the film, The Piano, our focus in the class was cinematography. After learning about different filming techniques it was easy to spot them, especially with this film. There were many many extreme close up shots of the main characters hands. This is ironic because of the series of events that occur ending with the woman's finger getting chopped off. If I was to see this film again it would be obvious to me that something bad involving her hands was going to happen in the end. The end of this movie is an ending that I just can't stop pondering about. Someone brought up the idea that her getting pulled into the ocean with her piano could have been a dream and I never thought of that before. They mentioned the idea that she died in that scene and then the last scene where she is learning to speak wasn't real. The piano was very symbolic of the woman's voice, since it was how she expressed herself.
