First reaction: not impressed. The strobe-light effect made me think about giving up. In the second half of this short, there are bizarre intercuts of a bullfight and TV commercials. I have a hunch, though, that this will haunt me, and the next time I see it, I'll think it's brilliant.

Short documentary art. The strobe effects were panic inducing; can't imagine looking at this in a movie theatre...

Hectic and compact. Couldn't make much of it but the contrast between audio and video is quite interesting. The assassination reporting is paired with epileptic seizure inducing effects and darkness while the second part's speech (prior to the assassination) deals with pictures of war, modern society and lions.

Physically upsetting. Conner's use of flashing lights and repetitive imagery mixed with the droning account of the assassination got my stomach churning. Enjoyed the second half too, the spider-like movements of the horse and the inter-cut Frankenstein clips were amusing. A mournful remembrance following the shock and agony of the assassination.

Begins with interesting and effective audio from reportage during the event, with visuals eventually shifting into a more free-associative style. I think it captures a lot of the experience of being hit by a sudden unexpected, world-changing event. Loses some points for the obnoxious strobe effects.

Intriguing, though I'm not sure it's wholly effective as it loses urgency over time. The second half is different from the first and a comparison of the two is interesting to consider.
