Welcome back class.

This week your homework assignment was Arthur (1981) and Weekend at Bernie's (1989), where we'll be discussing what methods make your characters more sympathetic, or less. One film takes what should be a group of unlikable leads and makes us empathize with them, while the other left Ally cheering for the quasi-villain.We'll also be looking at strong women, bad unnecessary sequels, and still more adventures in late capitalism.
