The directors main aim in this film, as is the films main focus, I believe is to show how the city blooms in the morning, and to show how hectic it is, a god way to describe it is 'organised chaos'. The pace of the film does this, and it relates to that of a journey of a train, at the start its slow, but builds up speed until it hits a rapid pace.
I liked the film, because I liked the link Pennebaker made between the train and the city and the style in which the film is made. I appreciate the camerawork and the editing, they really make it. All the extreme, manic and low angled shots along with the rapidly paced editing exaggerate the daybreak of a city well.
I believe the film is successful in its subject matter, for reasons i have already stated above; it makes a great link with the blooming city and the train and takes the viewer with this idea with the brilliantly crazy camerawork and paced editing.
The element of the film that particularily stood out to me was the colour. The use of colour, in my opinion was brilliant, very vivid and striking and i like the fact that it changed as the pace of the film quickened.
