Yeah take the German! I imagine summer courses are awesome. Especially language. You'll probably make a lot of friends. And hurray about the movie! I've never really heard of it I think, but it looks really cool. I'm writing my final paper on check it:
So Germany's films were more provocative than America's during the silent era, right? They got away with more stuff. So I'm gonna say its because Germany was going through an economic disaster whereas America was prospering. And so this made Germany want to be more reckless, live life harder (I do have research that supports this) and it encouraged more social and political satire. Whereas with America, despite the illusions of the Jazz Age, the majority of America (non-urban areas) was actually still pretty conservative. And that economic prosperity encourages a more conservative social atmosphere because people want to stick with what's safe and familiar and comfortable and whanot. What do you think?
Sounds highly plausible, but I have one point. In terms of comparing Germany and America, it's safe to say one took more risks. I mean, Germany was the first country to popularize both the horror and scifi genres (though horror is really theirs). Also used a good deal of animation as special effects (first country to make a full length animated feature). But I think you're focusing on something else from what I can tell. Ok, my only point is that America was actually more conservative with film when they were in the great depression. The Hayes code was introduced in 1930s. I always thought the twenties were interesting for one thing though. Most people WERE highly conservative financially but socially liberal. I guess it all depends on where we draw the lines. I mean, we were daring enough to make Greta Garbo and Clara Bow obvious sex symbols, but so conservative that homosexual actors had to hide it to have a career. We would let our children drive around in cars (which they would proceed to have sex in no doubt) but god
( ... )
I've never heard of that movie before, but it sounds very interesting. I suppose I'll have to go a-huntin' for it, or something, eh? Well, not in Ukiah, though. There's no hope for finding it here.
Yeah, the reason I was so excited to see it is because its practically impossible to find, unless I just don't know where to look. I read about it in some random film book and was absolutely determined to see it. I'm really looking forward to it. It will make up for the fact that I have a modern physics midterm earlier that day. Eck.
Oh thank you, I think I did quite well on my Chemistry midterm. It was the kind of test I prayed for last quarter. Last quarter you could have memorized every word in the book and it still wouldn't really help you. At least it is possible to get an A on this one, though I shouldn't get my hopes up. I have a Differential Equations midterm on Monday. Too many midterms. And a formal report due. Busy little Aziza. Though when I do have time I'd love to catch up because my memory is getting worse and I was a huge Chem obsessed recluse last quarter.
All I can say is how awfully fascinating. For both the photoplay and the learning of the German language.
For the first time, the other day, I got to see "The Patsy"... in an odd way, I found the guy playing Tony (if you have seen it) to be rather attractive. Oh I felt like such a dork when I thought this as I watched the photoplay.

Good luck with the midterms, ma'am.
