We have viewed and discussed many interesting and thought provoking films in class this semester and engaged in many intense discussions about the meanings of the films.  My absolute favorite out of all of the films we learned about is … Continue reading →

I have been thinking about Midge and Judy and why Scottie is so drawn to Judy and not to Midge, even though she makes herself available to him. I think that Midge is a good example of the ideal woman. … Continue reading →
