If it was fun to make, I’ll probably like it
"This class will probably ruin movies for you." That was the first thing said by my teacher during my first film class in high-school. Basically, creating the habit of analysing (and often "over analysing") movies would ruin them for me. Movies would no longer be something I can just shut my brain off for and…
