How'd everyone find it? I thought Marius et Jeannette part B of section 1 was quite dodgy... really hard to get into a character when you're supposed to be getting into the actor... stupid BOS lol. Apart from that it wasn't too bad

it was okay, actually.. not as bad as i thought it would be
i agree with you about the film study- we do au revoir les enfants, and both the analysis section and that empathy task were kind of dodgy!

i loved the writing section though- we had heaps of vocab on the riots at cronulla and the violence in the banlieues at paris! hehe awesome.

No way! The responding was great because it meant you could go in so many different directions. I do Au Revoir and I haven't watched the film enough times, so I can never remember exactly what happens in which order, so the interview allowed me to pick the exact scenes I wanted without needing to link anything, AND you can talk about what the "message" the actor "wanted" to share; in the case of Joseph, that he was a victim of circumstances, showing that not all those who collaborated were evil.

I didn't think the Part B from M&J was very good either. The whole idea of that section is testing your ability to write from the perspective of a character, to demonstrate that you know the film well, and I don't think this did that.
