My review of the lecture at USC

On Wednesday, November 2, Maddy, Sara, Katharyn, Ayan, Mrs. Kirk, Dr. Dasgupta, and I all piled into Dr. Dasgupta's mini van and made our way to the Rutledge Chapel at USC. We went there to see Martin Doblemier talk of how to tell a story with moral and ethical themes. This is not what he talked about at all. All he talked about was Gandhi and his influence on Bernhofen (that spelling is probably totally wrong). The most exciting part of the whole lecture was when Dr. Dasgupta asked her question about Gandhi and how religion had nothing to do with his pacifist ways. He didn't even answer her question, and it didn't even sound like he knew what he was talking about when he tried to answer her question. I went to this hoping to learn about filmmaking, and I came out with no more insight that when I went in. I was very disappointed.

I can't say that I blame you. It wasn't what I expected either! It was, at least, a taste of college life!
