À propos de ce contenu audio

 The standard measure of the quality and importance of a movie, or, to be grand, 'film', is enjoyment. This is certainly one measure, but not the only one. There are layers to be considered: movies as a capitalist enterprise, as a propaganda form, as art, as a fleeting means of escape from the psychological and material pressures imposed by a collapsing world, as a peek into how the past - or, people in the past with access to money, technical capability and script writing skill thought of their world - and many other things I'm surely neglecting. We'll talk about these things, avoiding the tendency of men to waste time with formless chatter. There's no time for that; the world is burning. There'll be structure, agendas, talking points and laughing no doubt. So not grim, but, well, how should I put this: also not a clown car of opinion.2022 Art Sciences sociales

    • The Influence of Film on Our Political Views: Part 3

      The Influence of Film on Our Political Views: Part 3
      Sep 2 2025

      Hello everyone welcome to another episode of the Film Conversations podcast.

      In this episode, which is part three of our discussion about the impact of the movies we've viewed on our political leanings, Dennis takes the lead.

      He discusses films such as The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie that influenced his thinking. Below, you'll find links to the films we talked about and realted things.

      The Influence of Film on Our Political Views: Part 2
      Aug 8 2025

      Hello everyone, this is Dwayne Monroe, the host, along with Dennis Claxton and RC Charles Roberts of the Film Conversations podcast. In today's show, we continue a conversation we started in the previous episode: the ways film shapes political views and the value of film to understanding politics.

      This has turned out to be a rich topic and so, we're planning a third episode to give Dennis a chance to fully develop his ideas which were cut a bit short this time around. There is, as always, a full listing of the films referenced during our conversation. I hope you enjoy.

      The Influence of Film on Our Political Views
      Jul 1 2025

      Hello everyone, this is Dwayne Monroe, one of the hosts, alongside Dennis Claxton and RC Charles Roberts, of the Film Conversations podcast.

      In today's episode, we talk about the films that shaped our political views. Or, I should say, we intended to talk about this but global events intervened and we found ourselves talking about geopolitics and war (with relevant US domestic politics included for good measure).

      Eventually, we found our way to discussing film, including RC's mention of the 1992 released Bob Roberts and my mention of Akira Kurosawa's Ran, released in 1985.

      This was a good discussion and although we didn't spend as much time on film as originally planned, fear not, there will be a part two.

      We hope you enjoy.
