A: The introduction wasn't too bad. Usually introductions could get a little old or dull because it's kind of like a reminder for what you already know or learned. This chapter did a good job at explaining the details about film that you may not have thought about enough to get why film was and is a big deal. I also like how the refers to a film or movie as an example for a certain sense or emotion the author wanted to get at. Those references made the chapter a whole lot more fun and easy to understand. The chapters are also split into smaller sections that want to focus on one point, kind of like a text book section. This chapter covered a lot of different topics so it may be a little difficult to find a specific subject. Our History Through Film teacher suggested highlighters.
Q2: Are movies a social danger or a social benefit?
A: I think that movies are a social danger. I'm not saying that I don't like watching them but how many times do you use a funny or inappropriate (same thing) quote to say or look back on in a movie. We've used the quotes like a zillion and a half times. When someone says the beginning of the quote we can help them finish it. If you've ever watched The Town you'll remember the costumes they wore to rob one of the banks. There was a robbery that was inspired by the film. That's just one of many examples.
