Attention Bollywood Fans and Student Types
I saw a flyer at school tonight for this continuing education class:
Intro to Bollywood Cinema: An Exploration of Indian Culture and History through Film
Did you love the colorful aesthetics and the exotic nature of musicals like Monsoon Wedding, Guru and Moulin Rouge? Want to know more about the Indian culture represented through the world's biggest film industry? Then this is the perfect course for you. As a group, we will watch and discuss films that are packed with colorful cinematography, high-energy dances, passionate romances, and intense drama. Through screening, lectures, and discussions, you will gain an appreciation of the Indian culture that embodies rich religious, traditional, and political history. Topics Include: Topics include: Hindu religious mythology and rituals, political and religious tension between Hindus and Muslims, family ideals, tradition and fashion in weddings, the role of women, traditional values vs. cultural modernization, the Romeo and Juliet complex, and much more.
Of course I thought of a few of you, especially someone looking to take a class or two (ahem lulu_girl).
