John Cassevetes Final Battle

What in the world do i say about this one? Definitely a Cassevetes film. I think his purpose for this film is to analyze the relationship between actor and character and see how the main character, Myrtle Gordon, changes when an autograph seeking fan is killed by a car. The only real "plot" that i was able to distinguish dealt with the issues of self expression and how a person strives to make their own expression true and meaningful. I felt like her dead groupie snapped her out of her ego and caused her to really stop and think about what she wants this life to be for her. This is present in the other two cassevetes films that we watched but the theme is much more central in this particular installment. I was a little bit dissapointed by a lack of cinematography, which can be a saving grace when you are in the thick of a radically independent Cassevetes film. However i felt like the exclusion of such cinematic quality also played into the themes of self expression and maybe reflected a contemplative side of Cassevetes himself? I really dont know what to make of it but it broadened my understanding of John Cassevetes.
