Heroes

Politicians and athletes are getting in trouble left and right. Our recently deceased Pop Icon led a troubled life. Movies are need heroes, but are heroes relevant? Are there any left today? Or are we too jaded now for classic heroes? Was hero worship always faulty?

What do you think of the idea of heroes? What movie hero best represents your idea of heroism?

Hello,

Class is canceled due to jury duty. Sorry. We will be watching a Kurosawa film, though not Seven Samurai( I knew it was long but forgot it was 3 1/2 hours). It is a fantastic film, one of the classics. I'll choose a different Kurosawa film this weekend and then adjust the schedule.

I will also email the first set of questions and instructions.

Have a great weekend.

Alan

Week One
