Au Jour with Women in Animation

            For the little bit that we talked about women in animation, I really enjoyed learning about the different films women made to get their point across.  In the second women in animation section, the reading tied together well with the film Au Jour.  This excerpt was interesting to read to see how much the women had to go through to film the things they wanted, which happened to be controversial topics.  There are many people in this world that feel differently about issues, but men in particular have different feelings than women in many different topics.  Watching Au Jour and then listening to the girls in the class explain what it meant to them was very helpful because as I said, men don’t understand everything that women are thinking.  This film tells about the feelings that a woman has after a man leaves that has been with her for a long time.  As I think about what I like most about this film, I think back to high school and talking to my mom.  For example, in a relationship something happened and being a high schooler, I didn’t understand anything from the girl’s point of view.  My mom explained to me how girls think differently and I learned from my mother’s opinions.  I know I’m not a girl, but these films from a women’s point of view were eye opening and I realized how much drama really goes on.
