Resolved

So... resolved was awesome and I wanted to make a fiction film about the two boys from California that more or less revolutionized debate. It was extremely informative as well. In all honesty I had no idea how debates were held, but I am now informed and feeling much better about that subject. Now our in class discussion was fantastic. I think I talked about Mr. Moyle in class and the frustrations I had with the man, but it was good to see and hear that I'm not the only one that sometimes struggles with institutionalized education. But now that I've had a whole bunch of time to think about it I've decided that it really boils down to the person enrolled in classes wanting to learn. If you are interested in a subject then you will find a way to learn about it whether it's through a library, school, internet, etc. Yes I do agree that there is privilege. I would be a fool not to agree because it's a fact. But I do believe that when there's a will there's a way. As a matter of fact that's how I first began learning about film.

When I was younger I was really interested in film but there were no classes offered by the school that I had attended. So instead of enrolling in classes I got a camera and began reading different blogs and doing workshops online and I started teaching myself. I took my camera everywhere, and I began to learn what works and doesn't work. Once I had the chance to start taking film classes I was interested and whether or not the teacher was good I made it a point to teach myself.

Back to resolved. I have noticed that when there are dedicated people to teaching and learning- there will be learning. One of the most impressive things I have seen in a while was the California boy's debate coach and teacher. You could tell that he cared and wanted the best for his team. He did his best to prepare them with the little resources they had, and they dominated! Where there are dedicated people there is learning.
