Prelude: Dog Star Man (1961)

A creation myth realized in light, patterns, images superimposed, rapid cutting, and silence. A black screen, then streaks of light, then an explosion of color and squiggles and happenstance. Next, images of small circles emerge then of the Sun. Images of our Earth appear, woods, a part of a body, a nude woman perhaps giving birth. Imagery evokes movement across time. Part of the Dog Star Man series of experimental films.

I am not a huge Brakhage fan, I prefer his hand painted work, tits pretty. Visually this has a lot to it, but I just got bored and almost fell asleep 3 or 4 times. I troopered through it, and it didn't feel all that rewarding for me.

Stan Brakhage's avant-garde short film, Dog Star Man is supposedly a story about a bearded man climbing a mountain accompanied by a dog. But what I see is a fog of heavy experimental editing with clip featuring fast paste images of the sun, human testicles and other mumbo jumbo, that now a days are just another music visualization on your computer, something that made this film revolutionary back then, probably. And the plot summary has no meaning at all, although there's a one forth of a second clip featuring a man and a dog, and that's supposedly enough, but I wasn't given what I was promised, I want my money back. There's actually another five sequels, but watching the first one was pretty much enough. 30 minutes that felt more like 30 hours. You are not gonna gain anything from this movie other than epilepsy. Thumbs down.

Someday I am going to be a wealthy old spinster and I'll have a room with nothing but a chair shaped like a question mark and a flat screen that plays Dog Star Man at all times.

-Possibly the most visually amazing thing i have ever seen. Totally hypnotizing. Watching the whole hour and a half of the entire Dog Star Man was really difficult for me to get through, and nearly made me sick to my stomach by the end because its so visually dizzy. However, I could watch the prelude a ton and not get tired of it because its so beautiful. Also, i read a really interesting paper explaining the meaning behind it and its really crazy when you know what hes saying with it. Also, its really awesome if you sync it up with squarepusher (even though its supposed to be watched without any sound) its even crazier. I'm making a playlist where it syncs up perfectly, but if you start "Go Spastic" at the second time it changes from red it syncs up really well. message me if you are interested in the playlist sync up thing and when i'm done with it i can send it to you or something. but yeah, definitly the best from Brakhage in my opinoin
