(be honest Mr.Leier when you show us a clip from a movie like rubber you know I have to say something)
The questions
1) After reading the introduction chapter to engaging cinema, what are your initial thoughts as to studying film?
2) Are movies a social danger or a social benefit?
the answers
1) it is deeper than I thought it would be. not only is there the technical side of it but also there is the way they use items and background in the movies to signify things like how people see shadows as a indication to hiding something
2) it depends on a) who you asked and b) what movie you are talking about in a movie as weird and pointless as, oh I don't know, Rubber I could see why we would be concern for the people not smart enough to discern that a tire does not have the physic capability to kill you with a (eyeless) glance and there fore stay away from parking lots highways and repo lots for the rest of there lives but it can also be a way to teach people in a way that makes sense to them. look at the movie Lincoln, it gave us a look at one of the most well respected presidents we have ever had.
