Quarter 4 - Blog #2

For this blog we can blog about the movie we recently watched in class. We watched the movie Duel, directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie was about a guy who gets chased by a semi truck, and it was actually quite scary. The movie had some elements to it that made it eerie such as the old semi that was all dirty, and the camera angles, as was the fact that it was in the middle of no where and there were cliffs. The whole movie I kept picturing myself, if I was ever in that situations, and it was quite terrifying to think about. I mean they had no cell phones so you couldn't call anyone, and even if you did they probably wouldn't believe you. Plus you're in the middle of no where, and you are likely going to get murdered. In the end, the main character David Mann directs the semi off of a cliff. I thought it was a horrible ending, although dramatic because it seemed like they could have done more with it rather than just having him die and thats the end.
