Since I got such lovely help from some people in recipes for another project I figured I'd ask for some help on this one.
(I suck at presentations and this one is 5-6 minutes long...goody)
So I have to pick a movie...
"Students should be given the opportunity to watch a movie with significant diversity content and then provide a short presentation on the experience of watching that movie." I'm not sure what the eff "the experience of watching that movie" means because I watch a movie like everyone else, on my couch with popcorn, but whatever.
I wanted to do V for Vendetta..but she's like, I've never seen it and you have to be able to relate it to something we've talked about in class(Social & Cultural class, so basically we've talked about cultural biases and diversity so far).
Someone has already picked The Color Purple, Boyz N The Hood & Gran Tourino (one of my favs)
Anyone else have any ideas?

What about American History X? Or THe Help if you want one that is a little on the lighter side!0

What is the course? It's called Social & Cultural Class? That's super vague
What does your prof mean by "significant diversity content"? ...that is also vague to me... knowing what the course topics you have discussed would help0 -

Someone mentioned that one so I assume it's taken and I've never seen it.0 -

That is the course, Social & Cultural (Psychology) and I have NO idea what she means by that, honestly I can hardly understand half the crap she says because her Nigerian accent is so thick.0 -
Okay, well then I am going to make some assumptions.
When she says diversity she could mean a movie with a range of social, economic, political and cultural diversity or just one w/ significant differences from the norm in your society or both.
I assume when she says "the experience of watching the movie" she isn't talking about what you're doing while you're watching the movie but your thoughts & feelings about the content of the movie. In other words, how does the diversity content in the film challenge, change, and/or reinforce your perspective. What kinds of questions does it raise in your mind? What was unexpected, what was expected, and so on.0 -

A new film for you would be better because it will be a new experience.0 -
"Corina, Corina" with Whoopi Goldberg. Social and cultural aspects addressed throughout.0

Not sure if these would fit, but all seem to address cultural differences to some degree, IMHO:
Born in East L.A.
Harold and Kumar
Hotel Rwanda
In America
La Haine
L'auberge espagnole/Les Poupées Russes
Lost In Translation
The Outsiders
Philadelphia
The Pianist
Rent
Saving Face
Schindler's List
Snatch
This Is England
The Wind that Shakes the Barley0 -
The first movie that came to mind when I read your post was "Water" or any Deepa Mehta film would make for an interesting presentation.0
-
I would suggest "Crash" - EXCELLENT MOVIE AND sound almost exactly what you are looking for.
:
Los Angeles citizens with vastly separate lives collide in interweaving stories of race, loss and redemption0 -
