Well this week in class we discussed our final projects. I already turned mine in because I wasn't sure when it was due. I did my PowerPoint presentation on "The Producers". It was a really enjoyable project and I had lots of fun creating it. I only have one final to go for the semester and am working on one final project. I'm happy about both of those things.
After we discussed our final projects and viewed final race presentations, we watched "Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle." The movie is a stoner flick that has many blatantly overt messages on race, class, and gender.
The film starts out showing a very confident and aggressive Kumar who enjoys smoking marijuana in large quantities while systematically avoiding admission to medical school. Harold works as an investment banker who doesn't display many masculine characteristics. The movie is basically a coming of age story for Harold, who in the end, confronts his foes, gets the girl, and becomes the dominating man society says he should be!
We are preparing for the final and will watch one final film on Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to break. Now I'm going to finish watching "Batman and Robin" on NetFlix and then try to force myself to work on my English project.
