One of the purposes of this blog is it help me remember important lessons from a book or movie.
A fried who is taking a movie criticism course mentioned that in their classes, they frequently discuss the lessons, if there are any, of a particular movie.
One example-- they had an interesting discussion of the movie "Psycho" and the possible lessons in it. They conclusion was "Don't love your mother too much." That is a terrible lesson. As if the only reason someone is not a psycho is because he loves his mother's just the right amount.
