    Description
    This course is a survey of motion pictures and changing social attitudes in film from the silent era to the present. Film appreciation, dealing with the ability of popular movies to crystallize society's myths, fantasies, and realities, is presented within a historical, social context. Movie heroes and heroines and their relationship to culture will be studied by viewing representative feature films.
