Reviewing Our Greatest Hits Lessons in Cinema, Parts 1 and 2

Jan 08 2020    For our final two episodes of our â€Å"Greatest Hits† podcast rebroadcasts, we featured a two-part discussion about movies. In Part 1 Andrew and Julie discuss lessons that can be learned from watching movies. Andrew shares with listeners some of his favorite movies and the lessons he learned from watching them. Listening to the podcast, you may also discover a movie that you would enjoy viewing. Part 2 of the podcast continues the conversation, except in this episode Andrew and Julie compare movies to the books. Andrew also describes how modern books and movies differ from classics in that classic books and films have much longer expositions that are rich with description while modern books and films instead attempt to capture their audience’s attention from the very beginning. This is one reason, he declares, why it is so important to introduce students to classic literature when they are young: to inculcate the ability to enjoy the slow development of a beautifully told tale. We hope you have enjoyed these special â€Å"Best of† podcasts. We look forward to sharing all new podcasts with you beginning in January.
