As a quick response to Alexander Peralejo's blog, I would just like to point out another film that everyone in the Oakcrest Film Institute should (definitely) watch, and then quickly add to their 'Movies' list on Facebook called, '2001: A Space Odyssey'. This Academy-Award winning film is not only mind blowing, with its spectacular visual effects and brilliantly-written screenplay, but it can also act as a catalyst for your inner-most thoughts... with so many undetermined meanings, answers, and thought provoking questions, it is a wonder why any of Kubrick's films have yet to be brought up for discussion in or out of class.
Stanley Kubrick is the mastermind-of-a-director who also wrote and produced films such as 'A Clockwork Orange', 'The Shining', 'Full Metal Jacket', and 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb' (and some other joint with Tom Cruise, you know...). So I advise anyone who has not seen his movies to drive to Blockbuster (yes, at 12:06 am) and rent them! And please believe me when I say that they are worth every minute of your time! They will NOT disappoint. Thank you and goodnight.
Here is the opening to '2001': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWnmCu3U09w
