Shirley Clarke's Bridges Go Round

Upbeat moments such as the film’s opening are appropriately coupled with orchestrations that complement the scene as expected, but there are some moments that feature compositions that don’t truly fit the tone of the film. For example, right before Buddy and his cousin begin counting their change, the music inelegantly changes from and calm and well composed tune to an unsettling and overactive bridge that doesn’t match the scene at all. This part sounds more as if some sort of unfortunate event were about I take place, but instead, the duo begins a simple conversation about a contest they had recently entered.

Guy Vanderhaeghe’s The Last Crossing is a Western of subtly crossed borders. Vanderhaeghe elicits a sense of blurred lines between opposites, giving the illusion that boundaries are not so statically fixed. Vanderhaeghe creates an underlying fluidity of social and cultural connotations and the essence of well-being. The Metis disestablish the distinction between Indigenous and white through appearances, languages, and relations. Addington’s syphilis, Custis’ mystery ailment, and the Indigenous peoples’ struggle with smallpox draws the conclusion that health and illness are not opposites. Madge’s death, Addington’s military massacre, and Indigenous resistance against unfair treatment prove that justice is not equivalent to the law. Lucy Stoveall’s paranormal abilities, Simon and Addington’s dreams, and the land of the dead exposes the openness of interpretation and the inconsistency of the natural world. The Last Crossing fights the illusion that concepts are resilient. Within the novel Vanderhaeghe affirms the flexibility of health, law, nature and culture with their opposites.

He uses the example of a horror film to explain this concept, “A throat is gripped, eyes bulge, knife is brandished, the victim closes his eyes, blood is spattered on a wall, the victim
