fandomhigh | Monsters and Humans. Lecture: Normal Lives (film). Friday, Period 4

Drac was actually very excited today. As soon as everyone was seated he burst into smiles, arms spread wide. "I found one!"

One what? Well, judging from the presence of the zombie trying to smash a video cassette tape against the projector, today was another movie day.

"Today is another movie." Sorry. Drac can't read narration. "'Werewolves' was our topic last week. I managed to locate a modern film that gets a good number of details about werewolves correct. It is called..." He looked at the paper on his desk. "Hoops-Garou." He winced at the pun in there. "It's about a young man who discovers that he is actually a werewolf, born in a family of werewolves that are in hiding in the human world. So in hiding that they do not even tell him the family secret."

Drac frowned slightly. "I don't condone hiding such things from children, though; not knowing you're a monster causes trouble later, as is shown in this film. I also suggest that you don't actually expose yourself as this young man does - It won't just lose you popularity and parts in theater plays. It can get you killed. I don't want to hear that of any of you." Or anyone ever again.

"Humans in the class, please note how the werewolf in this film is portrayed as a normal teenager. His family as a normal family. This is very close to the life my friends live... well, except with more pups. Very active pups. And by active, I mean destructive. Young werewolves are like that; I'm told they calm down as they get older, though." He didn't believe it.

"The young man's statement near the end of this movie is a very important lesson for everyone to remember: 'I wanna be myself'. That's all monsters really want to be." He nodded to the zombie, now wound tightly up in the video tape it had pulled out of the cassette, who pushed a button and somehow started the movie.

Drac is so going to get kids from the Winchester class confused.

Listen to Drac. React to the movie. Or, you know, pass notes, or just sleep (and hopefully don't get caught by Drac), watch the zombie somehow run a video cassette tape through a projector and make it work...

Stuff!

Victor had never seen this movie, and somehow he felt like the main guy was miscast. But the topic of suddenly finding out you were Different ... that one hit pretty close to home.

And the idea of abusing your abilities to become the awesome kid and get everything you always wanted and couldn't seem to get? Did that ever cross his mind?

Not that Drac asked, but the thoughts crossed his mind as his gaze wandered over the children.

This movie pre-dated Evan... by a lot. That was the trouble with being a clone. But even if it was practically ancient compared to him (technically, no sense getting into the reincarnations of Apocalypse), he found himself enjoying it.

Evan always looked sort of... lost, so seeing the child enjoy the film made Drac even more pleased that he had found it.

Drac... may have actually clapped along with the crowd and cheered for the wolf to join the team the first time he'd watched the film. But despite that, he was fine with the ending.

Anyone have any questions or want to discuss the movie with the class?

~~Anyone else giggle like Drac did when the dad made the guy wet himself?~~

Of course anyone who asks, it was totally a sneeze and not a giggle.

Nope.

Draculas didn't giggle at humans wetting themselves.

TAs!! Did anyone bring popcorn? Or fried maggots?

Mmmmmm maggots.

Mavis brought baked cicada moults. That's sort of like popcorn, right? Except with more protein. Exo-Crunch: It's like pork rinds but no one has to die!®

Crunch. Crunch. "That Fox guy is adorable." Sigh. "It's so cool how he can hide in plain sight by playing werewolves in movies, too. I wonder if Uncle Wayne knows his family."

Someone might have to explain to Mavis about makeup effects; right now she was under a couple of erroneous impressions about Michael J. Though the non-lupine one could be blamed directly on her father's concept of the word 'modern.'

If Evan had known today was going to be a movie day, he totally would have brought popcorn. As it was, he was content to just sit back and watch the movie and... maybe side-eye Mavis' snack food, there.

or, you know. OOC thread.

I forgot how much I liked this movie.
