Film Through The Ages, Tuesday, Period 3
"Good morning," Mitchell spoke, at the entrance to the Danger Shop, holding a packet of papers in his hands. "Today will be your final exam."
He watched the class expectantly. Then laughed. "It's far too warm out," he said, magnanimously, "So none of these for you." He dropped the papers. "We're going to skip ahead a decade," he continued, "To the 1940s, and show you one of the greatest romances of our time.Casablanca Cherchell documents love during the Second World War - the topic of my next class, if anyone's interested--" Too chipper, Mitchell. Too chipper. "--but to appreciate it properly, we're going to have to adapt to the style of the time. Those of you who aren't from this time and place, the 1940s were all about gangsters and mixed drinks and danger."
The environment warped to show... a good number of dressing rooms and a bar. "Get yourselves dressed up properly," he called, "Grab a drink and something to eat, and speed yourselves into the theatre. I expect to see you all as disaffected as possible, so talk through the movie."
Beat.
"Except for when it's really good, which is most of the time. It was originally intended to be a propaganda picture, but it didn't take well to audiences at the time. Obviously," he grinned at the class, "Opinions will change over time, like anything else. So go on. If you want extra credit, tell me what you thought. Especially of that scene where all the chairs fall over."
He was going to have to talk to George about that.
