Notes from film class
In my film appreciation class, we are seeing “Cinema Paradiso,” which, believe it or not, I saw when it came out. In… 1989…?! We have to see it in 2 parts because the class isn’t long enough to see it whole, but it’s amazing to me how bored these kids act! Maybe they really aren’t and just have to act that way (but why…??) - either way, they’re a bunch of goofballs.
Oh, and this skinny girl (oh, like THAT tells you which one I could be talking about!) was telling the prof after class, “I had a really hard time following it because who is Sal-vuh-torry and who is TOTO? It’s so confusing!” I thought the professor was going to belt her across the mouth, but she restrained herself, much to my chagrin.
Naturally, I was weepy when the lad was pulling Alfredo from the fire. I did it the first time and I did it again.
Next week we see “Citizen Kane.”
