From the most seemingly-innocuous examples (petting a student’s head in class) to the most intolerably sinister ones, the violation of consent is extremely dangerous. So far in B…[Read more]

One of the most helpful parts of the endeavor came when Sean volunteered to stand at the […]

Fine by me.”  panel, though once I got into it, I discovered it might work better as a blog post in conversation with Linda’s post about the Oankal […]

These influences come through clearly with the synth-heavy soundtrack reminding viewers of C…[Read more]

It seems that the class largely came to the decision that Blake’s goal to get to a hospital and find a cure to the infection is misguided…[Read more]

Although I can’t say I enthusiastically admired the “Take me Back” scene, I really enjoyed most of the scenes in which Sadie performs on stage. My favorite moment in the entire movie comes one of the first times we see Sadie actually take the stage, when she preforms “Almost…[Read more]

We discussed in class, prior to watching the film, how much of the religious element we would choose to put in the film if we were to direct it. My personal opinion, based on how the book presents the situation, is that…[Read more]

From the early line about the murdered informant Joey Doyle, “He could sing but he couldn’t fly,” naming names to the police is expressed as central conflict in the film. Taken in the historical context the film was released in, 195…[Read more]

I totally agree with what you two are saying. It seemed to me that RIck started by wanting to view Victor as his adversary, but as he grew – as you say – as a sentimentalist, Rick began to understand Ilsa’s point of view, Victor’s good nature, and his potential for political change as well. Overall, Victor is just like Rick, loving…[Read more]

The evidence you provided is all very convincing and compelling, especially the idea that the journey of the hero is necessarily inward, making the physical or geographic journey that is often paired with it only incidental. This is a great piece of evidence for…[Read more]
