Five Things I’ve Learned About Film:
1.All of the elements put in to filming scenes reveal aspects that viewers cannot see
2.Mise en Scene is the title for the elements of scenes
3.There are 14 elements in which you can evaluate a scene
4.Film can have more than one meaning, and each meaning can pertain to the real world
5.Parody and satire films do not come up with or present a solution. They usually just present the idea and lighten it by making fun of it.
Five Things I’ve Learned About Politics:
1.Civil disobedience – there are certain times where man should break the law but not just any law only when it is morally unjust. This goes with the movie Good and the Nazi regime.
2.The drug war affects most people, and it is never ending. The government has very little idea on how to end the drug war and begin relieving those who were affected horribly by it.
3.Although this does not only stand for politics, government officials have both a private life and a public life. They can’t wear their private life on their sleeve do to the perfect life they must pretend to live so the public doesn’t judge them for that as well as every other mistake they make
4.Americans tend to have blinders on until an event affects our country. In terms of Rendition our country would have never shown any remorse or worry if it did not have to do with an American citizen.
5.Most Americans live in fear and live in a world where there is no trust, so they resort to buying guns. If there was no fear, there would be no need for guns (at least that is the theory from Bowling for Columbine).
--Since enrolling in this class my mind set on film and politics has changed greatly. I never knew the deeper meaning of movies; I always just watched them for the joy of getting away from the real world. It never occurred to me that the issues going around the world are what the movies were inspired from. When watching any Harold and Kumar film I wouldn’t think to look at the way they portray the president or the way they are fighting for the legalization of marijuana. I would just think it was a stupid movie that people though was funny. I also learned about politics. I was never a big politician and I don’t follow the news. I was enlightened to the ideas fear and guns, terrorism, racial tension, and torture. I knew these issues were around but I never knew they would be the back seam to movies. This class has opened my eyes to the aspects of film and all the work that gets put into them to release the award winning movies.

Your lists are quite thorough, but you don't learn about politics, you gather information and form opinions about political issues.
