I am writing this to clarify why I do movies in class and have you critic them. We live in a pop culture age. From music, tv shows, fashion, advertising, concerts, books and comic books, to movies. Whether we like it or not the culture and pop culture effects us all the time. Our interactions with others, our taking in of info from friends and general media, etc. I want you, the class, to be able to see when something is "creeping" into that brain of yours and be able to identify it as friend, foe or neither. It is hard to find movies to every ones liking and have enough content in it to be able to identify these markers of worldview position. I will present a list below and you may look at the list and go over it with your parents and se if we can come to an agreement that is suitable for all of the Worldview class. Thank you for thoughtful consideration.
Almost all the movies can be looked up on the app IMDb. This site will have reviews as well as parent caution as it pertains to the questionable content that gives the movie its said ratings.
