A week: all about movies

We spent the last week with four amazing movies' presentations by our friends. I mentioned amazing movies because when we watch these movies, probably it is difficult to realize the messages tried to give to audience indirectly. After these progress, it can clearly be said that with a different aspect, these movies hides lots of messages and important point is that they are automatically in our minds in a way but we can not realize these because of wrong perspective. Therefore these presentations were helpful for existing these messages on the surface. I can give some examples from my presentation, in Fight Club, i could not understand communism and capitalism comparison at first watching but while i were going deeply to the movie, the comparison become clear and we tried to explain this material in our presentation. The other important point from fight club is dilemmas between edward and brad's perspectives. It is important to think that these two completely different ideas are in the mind of tylor durden, however these come on surface by two different behavior. This dilemma is clearly captured with analyzing Marla's thought. 
To sum, we learnt that looking movies without any critical thinking process is not helpful and like a blind's perfective thought the world. Therefore critical thinking must be the most important point for the process which includes watching something.

  1. I'm glad you realized the importance of looking at movies (and probably other media products?) with a more critical eye as a result of these presentations:-) this means I've achieved one of the most important objectives for me regarding this course.
