A Movie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Movie is a 1958 experimental film in which Bruce Conner put together snippets of found footage to a musical score. The film depicts footage of race car drivers crashing, water skiers wiping out, explosions, women, scuba divers etc. The film is a montage of images. The images may mean very little by themselves but when edited together, it evokes certain emotions and ultimately a deeper meaning. The film has been described as a metaphor for sex where the men traveling are the sperm. The film ends when the scuba diver (winning sperm) reaches the egg.
The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
A Movie is an editing tour-de-force made entirely by piecing together scraps of B-movie condensations, newsreels, novelty shorts, and other pre-existing footage.
