And I’m probably going to be talking about it A LOT during the next 3 1/2 months.
Just thought you should know that little fact.
Here’s the course description:
Film and History: The Remake How do films about historical figures and events differ from written versions? Why do Hollywood and the world’s film industries continually re-imagine the events of the past (there have been over 40 films made about Joan of Arc alone), and what do audiences enjoy in these films? Through readings, discussion, and film screenings we will examine the relationship between cinema and history.

What’s awesome is the book we use for the course was written by my professor. That makes the class 100 times more amazing.
And this is where I will be holed up for the next four years. If everything goes according to plan.
Got my acceptance letter today. Now I don’t have work for the rest of the year.
In case you’re wondering, I got into Mount Holyoke College (in South Hadley, Mass.) and I plan to study film. Hopefully, (if everything works out) I’ll end up as a film librarian and/or film historian (as dorky as that may sound.)
Well, I’m off to continue my conquering of the world.
