News from home writing


When watching News from home.. I took notes.. Here are my exact notes and thinking while watching the movie:

Not a whole lot is going on, most the view is one a few different empty streets. It sounded like a little boy with a very soft voice was reading from a letter. Similar to the last video; there wasnt a lot of structure. More of just thougts that come up. Very quick talking that is hard to understand because there is no pauses between new ideas, its all just run together so it makes it hard to follow. The letters cosist of him telling the parents they are missed and his medication will be taken for his diabetes.
(Assuming this person talking is a young boy)
A woman sitting.. maybe the letter is to her..
I guess cant really tell if the images have a lot to do with the voice or if were suppose to be "imagining" our own storey with it.
I think if I were to imagine a storey.. it doesnt sounds like the mom is gone, its the dad that left and has just decided to not write back or return any calls.
Three kids playing.. maybe its the writer and two brothers.
It sounds like he writes every day to update his dad on everything around him because he is in new york.
Ends every letter asking him to come back.
Writing back to a little girl?..
*Reading both letters from HER and from father.
