Magic Marmalade 29th Nov 2016		I've thought of a very dastardly / ingenious lesson plan for teachers based around this film... (It's one and a half hours long, so might not be entirely practical, but a good idea none the less!) ...The class watches the film, and of course, they may have opinions and maybe strong feelings about it's content etc. But there's really no way for kids to understand it at a personal level unless they can feel what jury service (making legally binding judgements on others which have real world impact on real people's lives), and other aspects of justice system, are like themselves... ...So, once the film is finished, teacher waffles a bit about it, discussion, etc. then teachers "randomly" picks two of the class to come forward (pick the two most popular kids from different groups - he he he), and says: "Right, one of these two will be writing me book/film report on this film over the weekend, of not less than two thousand words..." (too little? .... make it five thousand then, or at least enough to screw up their weekend) "...But you, class, will decide among you, which one it will be..... if, at the end of the day, you haven't decided unanimously, who that will be, you all do it, and neither of these two will have to" allows them to feel they've each got something at stake, and something to lose, with no entirely "clean" way out... and ultimately they will feel what that burden of responsibility is like. Perhaps you allow them to choose a class mate each to defend them, and make their case through reasoned argument, and why the other one should do it instead. (apparently arbitrary rules, unfairness, each responsible for, and to the other/s, with consequences for all in terms of personal guilt, recrimination.... you'd certainly find out a few things about the individuals in the class!...marvellous :) -of course, having put them all through the ringer, the punch line, five minutes from the end of class, is that nobody has to do it - unless you feel they may have read this, in which case, make em' do it! - I think I should either have been a teacher... or a prison warden! *"But Sir... this is unfair!!!"...* ...."Yup...welcome to the world!" :)



Magic Marmalade 21st May 2015		We are not short of realism in film and TV these days, which purport to show the world as the film makers think it is... ... but it seems we've lost the art, or desire to try and show the world as it ought to be. That aspires to something, perhaps that unfashionable world: "Noble". This does, in spades, and I think only The West Wing (and other Sorkin work) in recent times has come from the same place. There needs to be more stuff like this, and un-apologetically so.



Monolith 21st May 2015		This film, along with Inherit The Wind (1960) are two of my favourite movies of all time. Powerful stuff.



Magic Marmalade 20th May 2015		This film ought to be on the Curriculum of every single school in the world. No teenager ought to reach school leaving age without having seen it! (I wanted to tag it as educational)
