A sound in Motion - Spiral Jetty

This film more so then others just really took me by surprise. I don't know if it was the length, the content, or maybe just the narrators voice, but I was quite interested. More importantly I was really interested in one aspect more then others... the overall randomness of the films cuts were what really got me. You would see this working with tools and machines with the dirt and lake and rocks, then randomly it would cut audio and would cut to an image of a horned lizard. I tried to think of this for the entire film on why he would choose to do something like this. He also cut to images of dinosaurs among other things. One thing I did deduce from this is something I brought up and not a lot of my peers seemed to have the same idea. When watching this film I felt the overall look/feel of the design and final product felt very prehistoric. This would actually explain the dinosaur reference, and even the lizard and larger lizards such as the one shown are often talked about as descendants of the dinosaurs. I really do not know if this was his intention whats so ever but it made me think this, and I really could not see any other connection between the things shown. This being said it seemed to go well with the narrative he included with the "rocks,sand, salt to the west" that whole statement was very similar to the whole prehistoric feel and helped strengthen this idea even more.
