Hamilton : Just Another Story

After viewing Hamilton, I tried to comprehend why I felt a little anxiety while watching this film. I guess what bothered me was that lack of drama in the film. Being that it was a narrative film, I expected more to happen, and also to see it follow the classic narrative film syntax of introducing a protagonist and antagonist, then a build up, and then climax.
Since this was not the case, I feel it left me wanting more. It seemed to be a drawn out story line that didn't have much to it.

This left me to look at the film in a deeper sense. Why did it not follow the normal syntax of narrative film? Was there a point that Porterfield was trying to make about not including such dramatic events?

Then I reviewed an enlightening quote from Bresson, "From the beings and things of nature, washed clean of all art and especially of the art of drama, you will make an art." It seemed to make perfect sense with all of this. Because of the lack of drama and "artistic will" by Porterfield, the viewer is left to create the art in their own mind. I believe that this is a great idea in experimental film. Playing out a normal life in front of the camera without any tricks from the artist's point of view, the audience can dive into the film from a personal approach, and see the beauty and art of life for what it is.
