5 Things I learned about Politics

I have learned so much about film from this class. I have learned how to critque and read a scene in a movie. When watching a movie, I find myself repedativly pausing the movie in order to properly critique the scene. If I am watching a movie with friends or family, my mind is watching the movie differently than everyone elses. I am looking for the things I have learned. Things like lighting, proxemity, placement, camera angle and much more. I also pay more attention to what is being said and actually absorb the words. As an aspiring director, I think to my self, "How would I shot this scene differently?"
I also learned alot about politics. I learned that the mainstream media is very liberal. They are trying to sway americas youth into beliving in what they belive. They are tryin to make it cool to be liberal. Im not saying that it is a bad thing to be democrate, but when you have a monopoly on the media, then things have to change. I learned that movies have and are still changing peoples opinions about certain topics. In good ways and in bad.
I learned alot in this class and had an amazing time. Alot of things happened in my life during this semester, and my only regret is that I wasnt able to give my all to this class. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE

You did not learn your political opinions in class; rather you held tenaciously to opinions you already had.That would have been okay if you had been able to support them in any of your worksheets, or been able to be a part of the class discussions. Others held those opinions, but theirs were informed opinions, and they were willing to support them in their participation in the class. If you think Oliver Stone lives in a fantasy World, look in the mirror, Bert. Your behavior this semester has been an indication that you too live in a fantasy world. At least Oliver Stone is earning his own money in his; you are just spending your father's.
