Blog #11: Black Orpheus
  I thought that this movie was really interesting, and I am glad that we watched it.  The music was very unique and culturally appropriate.  I liked how the music went along with the movie and portrayed different moods and emotions at the right times.  I also found the guitar to be an important part of the story.  I thought it was very interesting how they made it seem like whoever had the guitar was Orpheus.  When he died at the end of the movie, the guitar was passed on to someone else.  At the end, the children had the guitar and even among the tragedy that had occured there was still room for happiness.  Music in general is passed through time from generation to generation.  It changes and things are added and taken away from it and it becomes a part of who we are.  Music is extremely important in our lives and in the movie it was very important in the characters lives as well.  Music plays an important part in all cultures ,even if it differs from culture to culture in the way that it affects the lives of the people in each society.
