A final paper
I go to school here in Denmark. Sometimes, I have assignments.
For two of my classes with similar themes, I was allowed to combine each class' separate term paper into one mega-paper.
Memory and Identity: Czech Republic + History of European Film= a paper about the political and social implications derived from the aesthetics and style of Closely Observed Trains, a film made right before the Prague Spring in 1968 and subsequent Czech cultural movements, in light of constant oppression(s).
I found this chart online, and it's basically my paper. Thank you for including the sliver about trains.
For anyone that isn't familiar with the highly-unpublicized blanket movement known as the Czech New Wave in film history, Closely Observed Trains is a great place to start. It's intelligently funny, somewhat absurd, still thematically relevant, and powerful as it builds to an existential conclusion. Also, it's all about Sex. It won an Oscar, too.
Let the writing continue.
