Well, this week we watched the prisoner episode three, A,B and C (I think it was the third episode we've watched). And this one was funny. Number six turning the tables on 14 and 2 was an awesome moment indeed.
Since the prisoner was made in the 60's and there were drugs around in that time, I'm wondering if this episode was influenced by that time period.
A few thoughts about this episode:
- Were there cameras near the lab? It seemed like 14 and 2 knew nothing about 6 tampering with the drugs...and wouldn't they have noticed if 6 went off-camera?
-Maybe number 1 is the viewers watching the show! (random thought, but, since most of us, the audience, are curious about why 6 resigned from spying...)
-1 seems to be like big brother since in this episode you get the sense that he's omnipresent because every time there is a scene with 2, there's a shot of the big phone also

Also, I've been sick the past two days but I asked what I missed and it sounds like going to the community center was fun!
I also looked up a few videos of dances Busby Berkely coordinated and it's really neat what he thought of! I liked all of the patterns and changing shapes that could be seen when the camera did a shot from overhead.
The idea of cultural influence in the drugs was a really good find, I didn't catch that. And your thought about the audience being #1 blew my mind.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDelete#1 is the audience... this is a fascinating idea. We have to discuss it when next we prisoner things.
You are totally correct that the whole drug this is the '60's , the time the show was made. That's great - it is a context. right?
