Student Choice Films

After a grueling nomination and election process, both Period 4 and Period 9 have chosen a film to see this week.

Period 4 chose Three Kings, a 1999 action-adventure-comedy-satire about 4 U.S. soldiers searching for Saddam Hussein's stolen Kuwaiti gold at the end of the Persian Gulf War.

Period 8 is viewing Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon, Robin Williams, and Ben Affleck. Winner of two Oscars, the film tells the story of a young janitor at MIT who turns out to have the same potential for brilliance as Mozart or Einstein.

We're studying both films from the perspective of the "Big Picture": the story. How do these films stack up against what we've learned regarding the classical paradigm?
