The Landfill Fan

I saw a video trailer for a full-length movie about a project called, “The Landfill Philharmonic” and it was inspiring. I can imagine a world is filled of garage, but people don’t give up and start create something new. I never seen an instrument is made of garage and how they play with it. It is telling me that no matter how darkness the life give us, we will always find a light. In this trailer, it is about people who is very poor and lives in the garbage. They had a idea to make instruments and play it. I love how Favio Chavez said, “The world sends us garbage… we send back music” because it reminds me that if people said mean things, kill them with kindness. I really wanted to watch this movie because I felt these children who play music will bring the happiness to the town. How do they make instruments out of garage? Is it hard? I always asking myself and really impressed when they play it, it has the similar sounds. A lot of people think it is waste because it is garage that covered with filth.

When I saw a video, I was upset that an artist wrote in Spanish but, suddenly a music from this era played while he is drawing. I was shocked and wanted to see more.

It was amusing when he draw Beethoven, Mozart, Elvis, and The Beatles and I really love it. It was incredible when he connected the music to the drawings like if he draw Beethoven, his music play. It is like a time machine to see all different types of music. But I really like if he put in English so we can have more understanding the history of

  • Wasteland Reaction Paper

    1283 Words  | 6 Pages

    Wasteland is a documentary by Lucy Walker that depicts the lives of selected garbage pickers in Jardim Gramacho – a massive dumpsite found in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. The film is about Vik Muniz’s 2-year journey back to his home country seeking to give back to an impoverished community through making images out of an unusual material – trash. The film featured 7 garbage pickers from the landfill, and each has a story that brought them to their current places. One unique thing about the whole creative process is that the pickers themselves became part of it. Vik imagined that as they work on their own and each other’s images, the pickers will not only show themselves to a broader world that is for now comfortably oblivious of their existence, but also see themselves differently (Fuchs, 2010).
