What About a Hero? in the forum Film Talk https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/groups/film-talk/forum/topic/does-the-station-agent-have-a-plot-what-about-a-hero/ Fri, 19 Apr 2019 00:21:00 -0500 We spent a good portion of class last week prefacing The Station Agent as a movie that lacked a plot. After watching the film, I disagree with that sentiment. In my opinion, if I can watch a movie or read a book or any other type of media, and at the end I can recap in chronological order the events that occurred in the narrative and their s…[Read more]

When I was watching the film, these connections didn’t immediately stand out to me, but now that you’ve pointed them out it feels like sort of an “ah-ha!” moment.

He does not exist in Casablanca as a symbol of morality, instead Rick is able to thrive by…[Read more]
