This week I chose to watch
Peter Brook's Mahabharata instead of doing any reading. I really like his style, even though the production was a bit outdated in terms of things like effects, it just made it feel more like a stage than a movie. The length of the film was quite daunting. I actually ended up watching most of it on 2x speed. I think that it would be more suited to being a two week assignment than a one week assignment, but it was still worth watching. I thought it was interesting how all of the actors were of different ethnicity, and I'm wondering what the motivation was behind this choice. Overall, it was great to see a visual representation of the Mahabharata.
