- Do you think that the ‘language of film’ is a universal language or one that is more culturally contingent?
- If you believe that as a language, film is more culturally contingent, how/why do you think that culture affects your reading of film and images?
- Do you agree with the Monaco reading that film is not actually a language? Why or why not? If it is not a language, how is it used to communicate?
- What about film do you think makes it “hard to explain”?
- How do filmmakers’ choices affect our connotative abilities/ views on the subject?
