Week 8_Video Response_Annecia Thompson

 

    This week, I watched Shana Moulton's “Lyrica.” I have to admit, watching it at first, it felt rather strange. I wasn't sure of what meaning the video was supposed to have under I looked more into the title as it kept showing up alongside the video. It all connects together as an interesting way to show how, in my opinion, people do whatever it takes in order to actual relax and unwind. From taking medication to letting a stranger bend and mold your skin like puddy, it helps to show the extreme risks we as humans go in order to feel some sense of relief from our daily lives and stress, even if it might seem harmful. It still manages to relax us, as shown how the woman is so calm as her back is punctured and scarred by massage tools.
