Week 8: Confusion

This weeks film was very confusing to me even though I was so entertained by it. The elements of this film were very interesting and curious. However, the image that confused me the most were the images of the dinosaurs. I didn't understand at first how these dinosaurs were tied into the rest of the film. As the film progressed I found myself trying to relate the film to those images. I first thought that it was all a part of the idea of a prehistoric time. The act of building this spiral jetty landmark that may have been something that perhaps ancient civilizations may have built like stonehenge or something like that. Then I thought that didn't really relate to the dinosaurs; the only direct connection that I could tie to the dinosaurs were the images of the trucks and bulldozers paving the way and creating the spiral jetty. I got the feeling that they were made to look like mechanical dinosaurs that were paving the way for a new history which was the spiral jetty.
