Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say
-
Does this mean we can see the end of the overly long film trend?
I miss films being ~80 - 90 minutes. I've had a long day, I don't want to commit to three hours unless it's something really special.
most comedy and horror films are that short.
the long films are action movies. and you'r emostly talking about comic book movies.

Millennials were shifting left towards progress and democracy, but recent voting demographics show Gen Z shifting in the opposite direction. They don't have "even worse problems".
the left doesn't offer gen z anything appealing.
in order to get people to vote for you you have to be appealing to them. a concept the democrats have failed to grasp for about 50 years now. except for Obama. btu the democrats act like he was jesus, and not just someone who listened to the voters and gave them what they wanted.
people who voted for Obama also now vote for Trump.

Id just blame stupid people. Especially blame the stupid people who had kids.
Most humans dont have the brain power and self reflection to be trusted with the amount of slop and propaganda peddled non stop on corporate media. We were doomed from the start.
yourself included, no doubt.

most philosophy students don't ever read Heidegger. And those that do aren't doing it outside of a 300/400 level class.
In my grad program of 25 students, only 2 of us had read any Heidegger and he was not taught at all at my university.
It was kind of a double edged joke. I'm a former philosophy major and knew Heidegger was dense and not very commonly read. I've personally only read a chapter of his work in the context of the history of philosophy.
Off topic, you have quite a bizarre user name

As someone who failed a few college courses before finally getting it and moving on, yes absolutely they should be failed. Even knowing the sting of failing, I had to learn it myself that it was my fault that I failed. If they can't pass the class, a film class, that's on them, and they don't deserve to move on.
When I taught briefly at a college, i wanted every student to pass my class, gave them ample opportunities, and created a lesson plan that made success easy with lots of wiggle room for the occasional bad grade or missed assignment. I still had students who failed the class and it broke my heart.

I meet people who can't even watch a 21 minute TV episode. \
People train their brains to be like this.
I used to love watching movies, but I can't sit through them anymore. I end up watching it in 15 minute sessions. Not sure if it has anything to do with my brain just getting older.

It totally depends of the films and the taste of the students, for me sitting through Citizen Kane was really difficult but I was really interested in the original Nosferatu film
