In this topic, students watch 2 movies, one from the last 5 years, and generally an older movie (I have in the past showed The Stepford Wives, The Graduate, Westworld). The focus is on the values that exist in a time and place, and how audiences from those times can read the films in different ways. We generally look at traditional roles of men and women, and any counter cultures that exist.
Due to the nature of the movies having to be updated at least every 5 years (generally more frequently), this is a challenge! I will generally select a new pair of movies each year. Again, open to suggestions
