We have continued watching a film of our own choice and then sharing our thoughts on the film with the class via email. There were a variety of films watched across many genres, with a number based on real-life characters. The films watched were:
Florence Foster Jenkins (based on a true story of someone without talent who wanted to be a singer)
Parasite (a Korean black comedy around class conflict)
The Sound of Music Live! (live performance filmed in a studio)
The Frightened City (B&W film that led to Sean Connery’s James Bond roles)
The Best of Enemies (based around desegregation of schools in 1971 in North Carolina)
The Kitchen (watched by a fan of MasterChef)
Red Joan (based on the life of Melita Norwood)
Downsizing (classed as a social satire)
A Lady of Letters (a monologue performed by Patricia Routledge)
The class members continue to enjoy the process and we will continue with this approach until we are able to resume our usual class sessions. I expect that over recent weeks many others have watched various films and we would be happy to receive your thoughts on a film you have watched. You can send me a message on [email protected] and I will share your thoughts with the class. Also let me know if you agree to share your email address with the members of the class.
