My discussion questions are centered around our reactions to the films we are watching both from the student (intelligent thinker) stance and the general audience (entertain me) stance.
1.) Have any of the films shown highlighted a preconceived notion of Normal or Fair that you never gave a second thought until now? Was there a specific moment in a film that brought about this reflection and has it changed your way of thinking for more than that split second?
2.) What aspect of these films are more important to you as a viewer, the background of the film as in Daughters of the Dust or the film itself i.e. technical or narrative aspects as in XXY?
3.) Did films that questioned technical or narrative norms (the 'norm' being Hollywood) effect you more or less than films that questioned social norms or put people into submissive/ tertiary roles?
