For the online forum for my Lit module.
Cinema I liked Eternal Sunshine, my friend hated it. Have always wondered why sometimes people can have such disparate views of the same movie. Why they didn't enjoy the visual spectacle in Troy (and i don't mean the occasional view of Pitt in the buff)? Why they didn't appreciate having module:"Proper use of the Hokkien dialect" tied in free with The Best Bet? One movie, different Pleasures derived. Take the Korean movie Brotherhood for example, some absolutely love the blood and gore, some drool over the dishy male stars, some liked the teary storyline and others, simply hated it. Pleasure It might help to recall how Dr Chan started his little lesson on Friday, getting us to introduce ourselves and sharing with everyone what gives us Pleasure. No two answers were the same, (don't think Dr Chan would allow for that anyway), each and everyone had a different answer. We found the masochists, the slackers, the insomniacs and the i-am-weird-so-sue-me. We gave each person an Identity based on what gives them Pleasure, regardless of how accurate it actually is. While it might seem incorrect to connect Pleasure and Identity, how many of us can deny that we remember Joel for the confession he made and not his year or course of study? Seldom do we do things that are unpleasurable (though i can't say the same about tutorials and assignments) and what we do does have a connection to who we truly are.
