Lost

Lost is a film that came out with its first season in 2004.  I just recently watched the entire film over this semester and I must say it is one of my favorite tv series now.  Before I had ever watched the film itself I had some mild misconceptions of the film.  I knew that it was a very long tv series and I thought, because of its sheer length, that the film was not worth investigating.  However, one day I randomly decided to watch the first episode to see if I would like it.  From the very first episode to the last I was literally hooked on the show asking for more.  It took me about 2-3 months to finish the show in its entirety, which means that one could say I was literally addicted to it.  The most fascinating thing about the show for me was the great use of story telling and how they used a ton of flash backs in the first three seasons to help guide the story of the present as well as "flash forwards" to keep you on edge and wait for some pre-destined end to occur.  While in the last three episodes, the viewer was being told events that were to take place, however the film brought you on a ride that got you to that pre-destined event in an unimaginable way.  Being and animator and a film lover, if anyone is looking for a great film to watch I highly suggest Lost.  It will teach all of us DMA majors a little bit about how to tell a story.
