Duck Soup and The Way Things Go

Wow that blog prompt was jam packed full of questions. Hmm Duck Soup as a narrative... is it bad that my mind is drawing a blank and all i can think about is the scene at the peanut stand. Well actually the movie functions as a satire of old theatrical productions so it can be an intervention in that way. it causes the viewer to relook and laugh at certain things. The two films are related in a sense by the fact that you have no idea where the "plot" is going. Duck Soup because it's a marx brothers movie and doesn't have to follow normal narrative guidelines and The Way Things Go because it was a rube goldberg contraption. I'll conclude with a deep thought: these films are less about what you see and more about what it makes you think about.
