The Most Interesting History Class Ever

This semester I enrolled in what would look like an interesting class, it said history though film emphasis or something like that. I like movies, history not so much, put them together and we get an entertaining way of learning history.

This week, first class, was the introduction to what we’re going to be seeing throughout the semester and I must say it looks like it’s going to be a good class, not to say awesome! We are, in fact, going to see a lot of films this includes movies as well as documentaries from mid 1800’s to the present.

Usually I have History along with Biology, Chemistry and others in my boring-but-have-to-be-taken drawer; History l, from last semester is already there, it was awful!

This time it’s different, the professor its super funny and keeps the conversation going, making the whole class more interesting and heck! even the subject (history) is interesting. He’s one of those few good teachers in a very rare class and way of teaching (with movies!).

To start us off he told us “History is everywhere, you can find it in every movie.” He asked for our favorite history-based movies, “Braveheart”, “Troy”, Movies based on history: “Remember the Titans”, “Wall street.” Even the crazy ones from the 50’s or 60’s, “The Blob”, “Attack of the Crab Monsters”, “Attack of the Giant Leeches” that were simulating the fear of oppression.

So it gets you thinking that really there is no film that doesn't illustrate history in some way.
