ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author examines seven films discussed in class over the period of the duration of the project, which served as topics of debate in the classroom: Antonia's Line, A Single Man, Fremde Haut (Unveiled), La Source des Femmes, Passion Fish, The Joy Luck Club, and The Sweet Hereafter. The author also presents recorded discussions about each of the seven films in order to demonstrate the flow of arguments and controversies among students that significantly influenced the ambience in the class. The chapter begins with synopses and diegeses of films and talks about the transcriptions of classroom discussions among students. The function of presenting both synopses and diegeses of the films that were used in all the courses is not only to set the narrative background for each film and thus bring the films closer to the reader, which is worth doing in its own right, because some of them might be quite unknown to some readers.
