My son got a degree in being an unemployed actor, and nailed the unemployed part, the actor part not so much. So after a few years of deeply studying film, he’s gone back to college at 26, to get a degree in film studies.
He’s SHOCKED at his classmates. He just started a class where they will break down a film throughout the entire semester. They watched it in class together, and EVERY single student, except him, absolutely hated it (my son had already seen it a half dozen times before he even knew the class was showing it).
He’s getting frustrated that so much of every film class is the prof justifying the choice of film to the students. My son wants to talk about the film’s elements, but he has to sit there and listen to idiots disparage a great film because it isn’t a Marvel movie. He says the profs are getting frustrated, too.
I told him not to worry about the morons, and to just keep on digging in at a high level, and his professors will appreciate him.
