Every week starting from the week beginning January 20 students will be required to write a minimum of 1 blog entry on the movie that we have watched in class. This entry will be due every Tuesday at 12 noon exactly ONE WEEK after the previous weeks film screening.

Your blog entries may take one of many different approaches: you can reflect on parts of the film that you found interesting or had an impact on you. You can describe how this film illustrates a particular psychological theory or idea. You can link part of the film to your own life experiences. You can critique the film, describing what you liked or disliked about the story or the acting. You can even set up links to other films or TV shows that share similar themes to the film.

The blog entry should be a minimum of 300 words.

Note that your lecturer, tutor and fellow classmates will be given access to this blog so please use your discernment when deciding what to write and share.

Quotes

1) Awakenings (1990)

"The human spirit is more powerful that any drug, and THAT is what needs to be nourished - with work, play, friendship, family. These are the things that matter. this is what we'd forgotten: the simplest things."

His vision, from constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else.
It seems to him there are a thousand bars,
and behind the bars, no world.

As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a centre
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.

Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts,
quietly, an image enters in,
rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.
- Rainer Maria Rilke

"Released from bondage and ridicule after 7 destitute seasons, they raised the roof of Shea Stadium - while their fans attempted to dismantle it - in one of the lodes, wildest victory celebrations in baseball history"

2) Strictly Ballroom (1992)

"A life lived in fear is a life half lived"



3) Eat, Drink, Man, Woman (1994)

"Eat, drink, man, woman. Basic human needs... Is that all there is to life?"

"Man die for money, birds die for food. Its not worth it for a man to die for food"

"Life should not like cooking: you need to wait until all the ingredients are prepared"

"Raising a daughter is like cooking a meal. By the time you're done you've lost your appetite"

4) Mississippi Burning (1988)
