Next week we will screen the film Good Will Hunting (1997, dir. Gus Van Sant) for all Core students. It is required that all Core students see this film as part of the course syllabus. Please plan to attend one of the screenings listed below.
Screening schedule (all screenings take place in Neils Science Center 234):
Tues, 10/14, 8 pm
Thurs, 10/16, 8 pm
Sun, 10/19, 3 pm
Sun, 10/19, 8 pm
Please note the film’s rating, given by the Motion Picture Association of America: “Rated R for strong language, including some sex-related dialogue.”
As always, be respectful of others around you during the film screenings. This includes turning off your cell phones, not opening them up during the screening (the bright light is distracting), and refraining from conversation while the film is showing. The film is a course text. Therefore we expect you to take the screening as seriously as you would your normal classroom time. You may be asked to leave if you do not uphold this standard.
You will receive a notecard or small piece of paper as you enter the auditorium. Use this to record your name, your professor’s name, and a question, observation, or quote from the film that you think would serve as a good point of discussion in class. If your professor gives you more specific instructions, you should of course follow those. Leave the card/paper with one of the professors present or on the table just inside or outside the auditorium doors.
