Mon Oncle

Field Experience One: Film Analysis Mon Oncle. Dir. Jacques Tati. Perfs. Jacques Tati. Gaunt Film Company, 1958. Enter Monsieur Hulot; a creation of Jacques Tati and an embodiment of pure comic genius.

Hulot includes his nephew Gérard, his sister Madame Arpel and her husband Monsieur Arpel. The Arpel family and M. Hulot come from vastly different lives and cultures. Hulot lives in a beautiful boarding house which is home to many diverse and happy people, who often communicate through warm feelings and actions; in contrast, the Arpel family lives in the center of a modernistic suburb that’s drearily colored with shades of grey and filled with almost non-existent neighbors, that when present, seem to…

The development of this legend is a fascinating insight to how history was written, and more interestingly not written, and who ended up writing the version that stood the test of time.

Writing an object biography means looking at the object 's history, from the moment it was made to the moment it disappeared, or to the present if the object still exists. Object biographies are passive narratives, because objects are inherently inanimate. An object biography will consequently not look at what the object 'accomplished ' during its lifetime, but rather, how the surroundings of the object transformed it through time.

Artist Edgar Degas defined art as being: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see” (Le French 1). In other words, any artist can create something and call it a “piece of art,” but it does not represent any significance if no one can become inspired by it or see the purpose behind it. However, what then would be considered “art” and how would you describe it? A common answer to people is that there is no one particular meaning or that the imagination is endless. Though, true, I…
