I was a bit surprised that unlike my other classes we didn't do introductions. So I will introduce myself. I'm Ellen and I'm a junior TV/digital film major with a minor in film studies. I decided to take this class because it counts as an elective for film studies and also because it sounded fantastic. The cold war took place through the late 40's to the late 80's. The idea of watching any movie during that time sounded pretty fantastic. Such a wide variety in approximately 40 years.
I was extremely happy to look over the syllabus and see some of the films we'd be viewing. Rosemary's Baby is what I'm most excited about. It's actually the only film I've seen on the list but I love it. I'm reading the book right now and it amazes me how faithful Roman Polanski was to the story. It's always exciting to know filmmakers stay true to the book. I was also happy to see The Stepford Wives and Blue Velvet on the list. They're both currently on my Netflix Queue. So in general I'm excited for this course. But also nervous because if you can't tell already, I'm an awful writer. So blogging scares me a bit.
