Introduction
In general, analyzing films goes beyond mere entertainment and promotes a broader understanding of social dynamics, creator expression, and human emotion. This is evident in the example of Get Out, which provides a sense of racial tension and an appreciation of the director’s use of horror to demonstrate prejudice (Peele, 2017).
Main Body
Through the course taken, film appreciation is transformed into a more critical and detailed study from passive observation and categorical evaluation. It becomes accessible to uncover meanings and nuances often missed through casual viewing or lack of attention. Thus, in this film, the expansion of cultural dialog, an attempt to affect social change by challenging norms, becomes apparent throughout the course. It becomes possible to extract symbolism, themes, and underlying messages of concern about the state of society, thus deepening the understanding of the film.
The connection between movies and society is obvious and is two-way: themes and interests seep into the industry and give birth to works that, in turn, reflect society and can influence it. The movie Get Out is a great example as it demonstrates the role of filmmakers as storytellers and commentators of sensitive moments in culture (Peele, 2017). The symbiotic relationship such works have with society is the reason for their ability to stimulate discourse in all aspects of human endeavor.
Attending the Live Learning session further highlighted and signaled the value of the analytical skills learned on the course and honed in the process. Of particular note was the accepted importance of combining communication skills and critical thinking, which is mandatory for success and developed through analyzing film industry products. The ability to delve into meaning and symbols and articulate observations with a general capacity to analyze is also part of the skill set important for creating persuasive arguments or evaluating strategies in later life. The two most important skills acquired in the course that can be added to a resume are cultural contextualization expertise and strategic narrative insight.
Conclusion
These are well-known among people involved in analysis and can help build marketing or business analysis tactics and further arts-related careers. Such skills allow one to draw meaningful and valid conclusions and assess contexts, which is useful for almost any role.
