“Oh.. you are so lucky that you get to watch movies for lectures!!!”
This is the usual reply I get for my complaints such as “Oh.. I need to watch a movie for tomorrow’s lecture”, “I’m in trouble I couldn’t watch the movie for today’s lecture. I need to at least go through it before the lecture.”
It may seem easy and joyful for getting to watch movies for courses, and yeah, I agree it can be better than reading theoretical stuff, but it’s not that pleasant as it seems to be. When we want to watch a film, we just select something to our taste and a time that is comfortable for us. And we just need to enjoy the movie or shift into another if the movie turns out to be bad. But we don’t have that much of freedom when we were assigned to watch a movie for a module. Your choices are taken away. You have to watch it even though you like it or not and even if you are not in a mood to watch a movie, you still have to watch it before the given deadline. Moreover, you can’t just simply enjoy the movie because it’s not to enjoy but to study. The highlight is that, many of the movies that we get to study are pretty depressing, I mean, isn’t undergraduate life pretty depressing enough 😅 Why do we need depressing movies too 😢

But there is a positive side to it also. My immunity gets better to depressing movies now. when someone find a tragedy to be heartbreaking enough my reply will be like “Dude… you should watch the movies I get for modules. This is better” 😂 Jokes apart. I got to watch some nice movies thanks to my syllabus and with a wide variety as well. I usually watch the movies in same genre but prescribed movies added a variety to my movie pool. And it’s fun to work with movies and discuss in the classroom how differently we interpret it and how deep a literary piece can be.
However, it still gets annoying sometimes when I have to push myself watch a movie that I don’t like and at a time when I’m not down to watch a movie. And more annoying when someone “ says “Oh.. you are so lucky that you get to watch movies for lectures!!!”
Thanks for reading!
Have a nice day!
