Personal Journey through American Cinema with Marty Scorsese

ooh.. I've seen a bit of that, maybe the first forty minutes. I remember it being good.

It's four hour long and I cant wait for every minute. I am hoping it will be a film class like few others.

Oscars? I'm watching Faye ;)

Dark bus with the group doing their train noises. Good enough already!

In class, I have mentioned the film "Birth of a Nation" a couple times. The film is contemporaneous with the Leo Frank case. If anyone wishes to screen and analyze the film - and write up a 2-3 page typed (double-space) critique - I will accept your work as extra credit.

Ah yeah, you know I'm all over this right now.

interesting trivia:  Leo Frank attended the synagogue that I go to.  There's a copy of his wedding photo hanging in one of the hallways.

It's also the synagogue that was bombed in the 1950s for their support of civil rights.  The bombing is referenced in Driving Miss Daisy.

This film is excessively too long.

That sentence is repetitively redundant.
