Film Studies Daily Log

Monday, November 22

We finished watching Freaks, then in the short time remaining (because of the snow-shortened period) very briefy discussed the film's dual nature as exploiter and defender of the society's pariahs.

Mr. P passed out a handout of the Hays Code of 1930 and advised the class that in case school is cancelled Wednesday they are to download two other handouts from room301.org. A quiz over the three handouts is scheduled for Monday.

HW due Wednesday:
Read the handout on the Hays Code.
