While reading Sheila petty essay I learned a different perspective on how someone interpreted our assigned film for last week Tougues Untied. She focused a lot on the structure overall of the film.Overall as your watching a film you want to come up with one solid feeling or the one solid voice that you heard consistently throughout the  film because unless you take pauses throughout a film your required to take everything in and process it and keep repeating the same process while taking in all these images. My approach was thinking more about what images I previously seen and how it effected the next scene. For example when showing people mouths, the words being said can be directly leading to personal testimonies giving by people in the film. I noticed a lot of cause and effect. or bigger to smaller. As Marlon Riggs was trying to abstractly portray that is must all begin with an individual to help the community. I agree with Sheila when she says Riggs is crossing cultural barriers. Even though Marlon Riggs is specifically speaking on a specific group of people , people in general all effect each other and their emotions, we are all social human beings. So I applaud Marlon Riggs for mentioning Joseph Beams quote .
