So, I've been reading various web sources regarding both films and it was interesting to find some very different contrasting opinions.
I also looked in to post modernism with regards to history as I believe that's what I missed from class last Thursday. I found it hard not to be critical of statements that conclude that nothing is true. Mainly because that would mean the statement itself is either true making itself not true or false making it again false.... Do you follow or I am just being overly-critical? Though, I found postmodern views on history enlightening at some points! I like how they think truth is relative and needs to be kept in context and that absolute truth is obviously impossible- it all makes sense. I don't, however, see history as fiction in it's entirety.. I think history when based on sources of fact and objective consensus holds some level or degree of truth as a social science (shoot me now!) but that is a matter of interpretation and of course interpretation in history can not be distinguished from fact now can it.(no really, can it?)
Anyway, correct or comment on any and all of that if need be! It will help me in my understanding of what I've missed.
Moving right a long... So I get lots of ideas about my project but I never remember them so I've started to writing them down- pen to paper sort of thing- well I use a pencil but you get the idea. It would be cool if I could get some help going over them, filtering and refining them! Some additions to the idea's list would be great too. ;)
I'll post the list of ideas once I've reviewed them- hopefully with your help! That's you Sir!
Thanks for reading.
