I really haven't had any problems with Blackboard. It is all very self-explanatory and easy to understand. However, I would prefer if the library left the films on streaming video for a longer amount of time. I like being able to refer back to them, so it'd be great if the films could stay on blackboard all semester, especially for when we will have to write our comparison paper.
After we watch Rendition, I would be interested in discussing torture, and the American viewpoint of it. On one hand, it could be extremely useful in combating terrorism and every other country seems to be doing it. However, it is incredibly morally wrong, and seemingly un-American. I'd be interested to hear what people think about the issue. When we watch Harold and Kumar, I'd expect to talk about stereotypes and discrimination. I'm curious to try to spot elements of mise-en-scene in that movie. I've never seen Stop-Loss or W, so I am not sure what we would discuss in class.

Thanks for the suggestion about torture and the issues that surround it. We will be discussing it.
ReplyDeleteStereotypes apply not only to race but also to politicians--What does the movie, H and K do to President Bush?
