Join this group and our Iowa Lakes facilitator, H. Shar, in this journey through ancient Egypt.<br />
Thursdays: How Scripts Made it into Films for Better or Worse<br />
Facilitator Dr. Kella Klinker Simonin<br />
Third Agers will study the scripts of recent films before viewing the film. We will learn why certain films<br />
become “tent poles,” become runaway successes, and others become train wrecks. The following films will<br />
be analyzed:<br />
Gladiator • American Beauty • Lost in Translation • Troy • Pay it Forward • Erin Brokovich<br />
The Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy • My Best Friend’s Wedding<br />
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind • Witness • Monster’s Ball • The Aviator • The Hours<br />

The Duke versus the Dude: A Comparison of Two Visions of “True Grit”<br />
Films are the parables of our generation. Film makers put up on the screen their interpretation of life using<br />
the tools of their trade. We sit in the dark and watch this vision unfold just like our ancestors who listened<br />
to the ancient poets recite stories and legends in the darkness of mead halls. So why did Joel and Ethan<br />
Coen decide to make a new version of the 1969 version of True Grit? After all, John Wayne was the ultimate<br />
Rooster Cogburn. Part of the post 1969 generation, the brothers Coen use their film making ability to create<br />
a 21st Century vision of the novel with Jeff The Dude Bridges as Rooster. This class will study both films using<br />
material from the book Myth and the Movies, criticism of both films, and viewing each version of the film.<br />
Course Dates: (Wednesdays) October 9, November 7, December 5<br />
