Film and Lit, 1/18/07, period 1

There was a large pot of coffee in one corner of the room. There were cups, making it look at least like it was for everyone, but Daisy was definitely hovering over this part of the room, and seemed to be drinking rather a lot of the coffee herself.

"Hey, everyone. We're going to start right in, today, with a film that stars one of the few modern actors who's worth anything." She started passing out information sheets. "This is Edge Sprinter, based on a novel called Do Robots Dream of Fake Goats. Those are information sheets on both, along with a clip of the movie and a bit of the novel. It'd be great if for homework you guys were to try to read the book and/or watch the whole movie, but I'm not really expecting it."

Daisy hit the lights, and a twenty minute moddable clip of the movie started up. When it was done, she turned the lights back on. "Okay, for those who didn't fall asleep, let's start discussing. What did you notice about the movie? What were the themes? How are they different from the themes in the book excerpt? What wouuld you do differently?"

"Yes. One Hundred Percent. Totally here and paying attention." JD said emphatically.

"So, tell me what you thought of the movie, then."

JD's eyes widened in momentary panic, before he put his confident face on.

"I think it was an interesting statement on the future of society if we continue along our current path," he deadpanned.

Please be right. Please be right.

Daisy nodded thoughtfully. "Good observation. What makes you say that, though? What images did the movie use to tie it's future representation to our current path?"

JD offers what he hopes are two insightful examples from the first half the film. He, however, says nothing about the second half and silently hopes she doesn't notice.

Daisy wasn't evil. She just nodded. "Good job," and continued on.
