Blog 9: Black Orpheus

Upon viewing the film, Black Orpheus, it is evident how prevalent music can be a part of a countries culture, such as that of Brazil. The also presents the myth of Orpheus and Euridice which I was unaware of until I watched this film. I thought the film was a great representation of Brazil's culture and how music influences their lives. However, at one point it, the music that was always playing in the background got to be a little tiresome. Also, I believe the film had a great balance between reality and between the underworld/mystical aspect to it. It is hard to catch onto because it is integrated in the film pretty well. But upon discussion about the film, this was clarified. Overall I thought it was a great film.
