When first approaching this article I enjoyed how krauss paralleled painting to movie making. Incorporating the elements of painting like what composition does to the human psyche and applying that to movies is an interesting idea. I interpreted Serra's film "Boomerang" as more of a psychological experiment of distraction. I also really liked reading about the mirror effect on the psychology of humans. In film both the human and the audience is the medium, the author referred to the mirror effect as narcissistic and I think that is a bit extreme. When given a script and a different setting I think that mirror is lost.
