Classrom Discussion.

This last section, the film section, has been interesting and a lot of fun to learn. I had heard and knew some things about how moving picture all started but I didn't know that much and it has been great to learn about it in class. In class we have talked about and witnessed the advancements in film made throughout the 20th century from the earliest movies to the more recent and I couldn't help but think about how much film, The moving picture, has influenced so many in this past century. I enjoyed watching the trip to the moon in class where the first special effects were displayed and I imagined myself in that time going to see that movie for the first time and I bet I would have had a blast and wouldn't be able to stop talking about exploding aliens after they had been hit by an umbrella. It would have sparked my imagination as I thought about space and what was really out there which might even have eventually lead me down a certain carrer path. But today, I like just going out to a movie to be entertained by a great story which also spark the imagination but i think less than before because more is understood.
