Miranda July - The Amateurist - video 1998

People contained in technology , two parts of the film, The subject in the survalience camera & "the mad scientist analyzing the subject in the survalence camera. A corraspondants of sorts, The Mad scientist watching the lady on the survalence camera, analyzing the letters and numbers the subject makes, it almost seems like the lady on the survalence camera is trying to say what she wants with her body, in between when she is giving the fingure. It's like seeing two penpals that can't see each other or read each others letters yet communicate only between each other. I liked watching this film because I enjoyed seeing Miranda July playing two roles within the same space and time, yet playing two different characters. When i watched this film seeing Miranda July playing the mad scientist it made me think of seeing a 1960's episode of Lost in Space, the campy, cheesy way the film seemed to come off was incredibly enjoyable to watch.
