I watched Cremaster 3 (2002). In the
beginning, I had no idea what was going on. There are lots of different types
of music and sound effects. Throughout the film, the music genre switches back
and forth multiple times. Also, a lot of the sound effects were very
dramatized. One thing that I took from Cremaster was that Barney wanted to
focus on how sound accompanies visuals. In one part, there was a person
spreading some material on a car. To the naked eye, someone may just think this
person is detailing or preparing the car for work. But since he added eerie and
high pitch squealing sound effects, it seemed like something crazy was about to
happen. After a few minutes, the film got very weird and actually was a little
bit scary with children carrying dead bodies and a lot of dark images. It was kind of sad to see them destroy such
nice cars. This reminded me a little bit of Fluxus artists when they destroyed
musical instruments and called it a form of art.
