Reflection on Bag's Work

Raging Bull ending

I chose this video because I thought it was very similar to the little monologues/interviews Bag has throughout her film(a monologue/interview on each college semester her character has been through). This last scene in Raging Bull has a monologue given by the main character. The monologue is a self-reflection piece on all he has been through in his life up till now. Bag's monologues are only a reflection on her character's college life. The Raging Bull scene is framed a different way too. In Bag's movie the character is sitting down looking directly into the camera which is stationed in place framing her from her waist to her head. In Raging Bull we see the character looking at himself in a mirror and the camera is stationed in place looking at him looking at himself. It also is framed from waist to head. The difference between the two is obviously where the camera is placed, but in both situations we get the same affect. The monologues in both scenes reveal something about the character and in each monologue the character has unraveled something about themselves. Both monologues allow the audience to learn something new about each character's character. We learn about their ups and downs. What they like, what they dislike. And what they could have been, and what they are.
