Sadly, my schedule will not permit this film class, but I wish I could attend. The U has great film instructors!

Sadly I learned more in my film classes at the U than in any core classes I took. I agree, the U has some superb film teachers with excellent curriculums.

What a waste of time. No wonder we're becoming a third world country as far as education goes. Film classes BAH!!!

Hey I think this would be an excellent class! It'd be good for some of the younger people to see what a real good movie was like before we ruined cinema

This will be a great class! I checked out the web site and found that the class is being given by The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at The University of Utah. Here is some info from the web site.

The Institute provides opportunities for intellectually stimulating, affordable, non-credit learning and for meaningful social engagement to people 50 and better. It is part of a network of over 100 Osher Institutes at colleges and universities across the country, all funded by the Bernard Osher Foundation.

The Institute offers a rich and evolving array of courses, lectures, and special events to enhance the lives of its members. Our instructors are distinguished emeritus faculty, scholars, and experts from the community. Not only will you make discoveries that may change your life, but you'll meet many a life-loving friend.

Actually an educated person is very well-rounded. They know a lot about multiple subjects. Film is a form of literature. You can study and analyze a movie the same way you would a piece of literature.

Your comment shows your lack of education. We are becoming a third-world country, as you put it, because we are not taking the time to educate ourselves. A movie of this caliber is very hard to find.
