Beckett on Film. This is the first time I have seen these films. I liked watching them because they are different, a cross between experimental and narrative, but some of them were disturbing. Act without Words is successful with causing the viewers, or at least me, to being frustrated. I can only watch it so much until the absurdity becomes too much. I began to think about why I can only take so much of these types of films. Am I only capable of enjoying certain types of films based upon my past experience with watching films with my family? My interests and disinterests stem from my childhood experiences. Would a child enjoy experimental films more if they grew up watching them?
