Canadian film follow-up

From the feedback I've received, the one Canadian film I should show is either Bon Cop Bad Cop or Hard Core Logo. Hee.

The problem is, there was a specific request after this week's weepy (Japanese) melodrama to not watch another depressing film for a while. Next week is probably going to be an upbeat Bollywood film, but I'm not sure what the Chinese students will pick for the week after. If it's got a sad ending, I might go with the Hollywood-style wacky explosions over the disintegration of a dysfunctional pseudo-familial punk band. (Alternately, I could test the cross-cultural coherence of Top of the Food Chain...)

Another group of students is talking about doing an all-night 80s movie marathon. I'm kind of sick of 80s nostalgia, so if I participate I'm going to make everyone watch either Brave Little Toaster or My Best Friend is a Vampire. Or Near Dark. Or even Solarbabies. Something not John Hughes, lame rom-com or Top Gun.

I want to write these papers!

So. There's a Film School Thesis Statement Generator.

The first three I tried:
‎"The Brave Little Toaster subjugates existentialist philosophy through its binarism of light and racism."

"Terminator 2 demystifies the plight of the migrant worker in post-war America through its use of mise-en-scene."

"My Best Friend is a Vampire echoes the primacy of scholarship in the Abrahamic religions through its frequent use of long takes."

Love it.

And since I've been mentioning these films a lot recently:
"The expressionistic play between sound and history in Hard Core Logo colonizes nativist arguments of the early-twentieth century."

"Bon Cop Bad Cop fetishizes the disavowal of the female lack through its strategic use of narrative ellipses."
