Thoughts on 4/11 Discussion section

I thought that the discussion we had on wednesday was the best one of the semester. Many of the students opened up and gave there opinions about the first film we watched by Jennifer Montgomery. It is really a tough subject to talk about because of the fact that it is a very feminist and sexual film. That film made me very uncomfortable mainly because I am an only child and my mom was the only women in the house hold so i dont feel that comfortable with the femine issues that we saw in the film. I kind of fell asleep of and on in the film because when i saw some of the images like talking about her own organisms i just wanted to tune it out. I do believe that after hearing everyone's comments in discussion it should help me in the future to share my thoughts about difficult films like that one shown by Jennifer Montgomery. The film i enjoyed the most was her going to some of her old friends homes to get a hold of the cameras she had borrowed to them. It gave the film a conversational film and made it easy to follow and stay interested in the film. In conclusion, I enjoyed the discussion because it was good hearing about all the different emotions that first film we saw had on people.
