Shakespeare
I took a class on Shakespeare on Film this quarter. I liked it. I never thought that I would actually understand Shakespeare as much as I do now, which is still very little, but I do feel like I know where he came from as a person on this earth. Nothing really has changed which is probably why Shakespeare is popular. I think I may have gotten an A in the class, but because I was crammed with a to-do list, I rushed through my final.
This was an online class, but I still got the full effect of it being in a real classroom and then some. Just because it is an online class does not mean it's easier. It's actually harder. It is definitely for someone who is good or really good at managing their time and HAS time.
I don't know...I think a lot of people think that Shakespeare hated women, but I don't think he did. But that could be me. I'm a weirdo and I tend to think the opposite. I did a paper on Macbeth, but a lot of the research I found supported an attitude that said that Shakespeare did not like women. I can understand that, but for me I feel I had decrypted some sort of code. Often times I would read the lines "you were born of a woman" and think what the heck does that mean? It sounds mean at first, but I honestly don't think Shakespeare meant it in that way. I think he was just saying that we are all man. I'm weird. People are weird.
If I ever win the lottery I'm making a film. Not necessarily about Shakespeare or on Shakespeare. Something interests me about it. Writing also interests me. Actually, there's a lot that interests me. Music. Drawing. Art. I can't just pick one. When I was a kid the school I went to had us take this test to narrow down what kind of occupation we could be interested in. I think that it was in elementary school--I was very young. And I got cinematography.
Such a long word. I didn't even know how to pronounce it or understood what it meant except that it could possibly have something to do with the funky effects in movies like Star Wars and Superman.
One day I hope to be a total and complete weirdo and be fine with it. One day. But, for now I suffer daily that I haven't figured out what I want to do with my life. Heck, maybe I'll do something in cinematography-like in the future.
