College, high school, whatever. But an actual film class.
I’m interested in comparing (what else is new?) between all the different film schools. If you can give an approximation of the location without giving up your identity, that would be cool.
I remember the teacher very well. Old guy, white hair, still remember his face, but oddly, not his name, despite having a great memory. On Tuesday, we would watch the movie, and then as we left, he’d give us reading assignments, which I always avoided, but we’d have a discussion on Thursday. I kinda wish I could do it all over again since I wasn’t very experienced at 18. There are a few of those movies I wanted to re-watch, but they were pretty straight-forward.
-The Searchers
-Double Indemnity
-Taxi Driver
-Blade Runner (I actually fell asleep, and woke up at near the end)
-The Crying Game
We might have also seen “The Maltese Falcon”, but I’m not sure. I don’t remember any foreign movies, which is too bad. We also had a non-required “new” movie, “The Matrix”, which I had already seen, so I didn’t go. It was an ok movie. CGI does nothing for me; I was more interested in the psychological stuff.
I know there were more, but I just can’t think of them right now. Maybe someone here will name them.
