Movie Responses

1. I think the obscure object in the movie is women. I think the continuous miexed emotions of Conchita was showing how hard it is to always know what is going on with a womans mind. Women are also objects of desire to men that we pursue, playing the games, chasing them around, just in hopes to get what we want. The way Conchita appeared bipolar and how Matthieu would always take her back when she left shows that our desire increases as the game gets tougher to understand.

2. I think the background was terrorism because once Conchita came into his life it was like an attack on his way of life. Now he's handing out money and spending all his time with Oonchita or finding her when she dissapears. She manipulates him and is in a way attacking his thougts. She does damage to him and no matter how many times he fights back, she comes back to mess with his head again. As much as people would like to get rid of terrorism it never really goes away.

3. I think the two diffferent actresses represented the more lustful Conchita and the more reserved Conchita. The spanish woman came in more where she expressed her feelings more. She was the dancer in the club, she was there when Matthieu made his first move, and the one who used her as an affair type character. She also returns at the end when they get off the train togethor. These parts in the scene also make me feel that is why she is the one who gets slapped upside the face pretty well. She is also the shorter and more curvacious actress which i feel is a more desirable figure. The french girl was more of a reserved and shy like character. She was the one who was working in the restaurant and doing maidwork when she worked for Matthieu, had those weird pants on when they were in bed together. She never goes through with the sexual promises she gives him.
