Has your sense of the film changed or remained the same?
My sense of the film has changed little. I have to admit to reading the plot summary on Wikipedia after we watched the film the first time. Can you blame me for wanting to know how it ends? So, there was not much surprise in finding out that the kids were the children of the couple in the Middle East. Although, knowing that plot line before seeing that part of the film, I do sort of want to watch the film again and see if there are pieces I missed that might have told the viewer that earlier in the story. The main change I can see is after this class, and one other analyzing film structure, I am watching the film differently. I am looking for a deeper meaning and paying close attention to the point of view and other film elements I’m not sure I noticed before.
