Appreciation for the class

I am a former student, and took this class a couple of years ago. While I appreciated this class, I was extremely critical of each film, as I believed the purpose was to look deeper into the films as opposed to "enjoying" them. Thinking deeper and analyzing each frame was my self imposed purpose.

What I took away from the class was more than I could ever imagine. Now I watch movies that I would never have considered in the past. Now I see a whole new world in old films that I never would have given the time to watch, let alone appreciate. I look back at the class and realize the benefit was not the films, or choices of films, but the instructor and material presented. It was a teaser of what I would have never considered before. Thank you for giving me an expanded view. This is what college is supposed to about, as opposed to the mindless political bullshit that is the focus in so many other classes.

I am a better person for this class, and am eternally grateful for the experience.
