MOVIES TO BASED ON YOUR HOMEWORK

lights, camera, action!

the list, it deals with women who faced sexual abuse in an insular religious colony. Loosely based on a true story, anyone interested in the intersectionality between sexual violence and religion will find this film interesting and moving.

If you’ve got history homework, pull out your 100 pages of reading (due next class) and put on The Banshees of Inisherin or All Quiet on the Western Front. The former is set with the end of the Irish Civil War as the backdrop of the film and the latter focuses on a German soldier on the Western Front during World War I. By the time either movie ends, you’ll only have made it to page 50, but hey, at least you’re halfway.

If you happen to be taking animation this semester, Avatar: The Way of Water or Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is for you. Personally, I think the only good thing about the second Avatar film is the visuals. If you just like background noise while working and want to see some high quality Microsoft desktop saver looking beaches and blue people, this one’s for you. If you like to feel inspired while working on your walk cycles, pick Puss in Boots. With a unique animation style, killer character design, and a good story, it is the surprise success story of this year’s films and one of Dreamworks’s best features of late.

If you’re taking a philosophy course, consider class and social structure, communism versus capitalism, and eating the rich aboard the Triangle of Sadness. A wickedly funny movie that takes a turn, there’s a lot of social commentary in this film that you can enjoy while you read Aristotle or Plato.

Overall, you can’t go wrong with any of these films, so login to both Blackboard and your streaming service of choice, and start your homework/Oscar watching journey.
