The Invisibles: Extra Credit Pictures:


Luis Buñuel

The first picture I decided to look up is of a famous Spanish director named Luis Buñuel. According to Wikipedia, he is most known for his works filmed in France, Spain, and Mexico. One of the facts that I found most interesting was that he filmed in three different languages: French, Spanish, and English and in two different areas of the world. I also think it was pretty amazing on his part to take the time to study film in France and learn the language to create films for the French audience to make it even more understandable and relative for their own entertainment. In my opinion, a lot of filmmakers now do not create films in other languages other than their native tongue or perhaps just in English because it is now a more widely known language at least in America. He broadened his filming techniques through language and settings and I find that to be very admirable.


This picture is from the film: "Talk To Her"

This scene is taken from the film called, "Talk to Her", which according to IMDb is a film about two men who both are involved with women who are in deep comas. When I first saw this picture, I saw a woman who I recognized from another TV show, but I couldn't remember her name or where I saw her. So I explored deeper in IIMDb's site and discovered she was from Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series in the episode called, "Sleeping Murder" that I had seen and enjoyed because I love mystery shows. Also, I found that she is also the daughter of Charlie Chaplin, a famous silent actor and has other ties in her family to notable playwrights. I also found it interesting she is fluent in Spanish and French because although she was born California and could have easily acted in English, she has past films in Spanish and French.
