The Non Sequitur of Film Studies


What is Film Studies?

a) Debates the essence of the cinema and provides conceptual frameworks for understanding film's relationship to reality, the other arts, individual viewers, and society at large (via wiki)

b) Feminism, sexuality and homosexuality (via a certain biased individual)

c) I rather not say because I'm afraid of the consequences

Apparently, the answer is b. Now if you're a lecturer/director/professional in this field, please correct this certain individual. Film Studies is more than just one topic. If you really want to show us the reasons, logic, thoughts, intentions, emotions behind films, show us everything, not just one thing.

I'm sure you believe that everyone is entitled to his own way of life (i.e. homosexuals), than I would like to say that it applies damn well to us straight people as well. Stop trying to preach and convert us.

I do not hate gays or lesbians, but I'm sick and tired of having to hear another sermon in class on how homosexuals rule and how we heterosexual people (straight) are just plain devils.
