11 How to Read a Movie (Classically): From Dante to Jason Bourne
Is classical education all about reading the classics? If you’re worried about having to read Dostoevsky because most of what you consume is NetFlix–well, yes, be worried, because you’ll need to expand your horizons, BUT, that doesn’t mean you have to totally give up your favourite Hollywood films. In this episode, Schoolman Fawcett talks to Scholarch McLarney about what “grammar” means in a classical education and how understanding the grammar of the universe (through Scripture) allows us to interpret both great and middlebrow works of art, whether that’s The Divine Comedy or some slightly less ambitious spy movies.
Dr. Gerard McLarney and Mr. Brett Fawcett are teachers at St. Isidore ONLINE Chesterton Academy in Sherwood Park, AB Canada. SILC Chesterton Academy is a classical curriculum that combines a broad, liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty. Through our Three Pillars Model, we form our students in: Intellect, Character and Spirituality.
As part of a larger online outreach school with Elk Island Catholic Schools, St. Isidore aims to deliver a joyful Classical Catholic Education.
