Professor Yasar

[Marcos Rico]

I enjoyed Professor Yasar’s lecture and his approach to showing the movie in short clips, then allowing time for discussion and observations. I feel that this way of studying a film would work even with 1st graders, short movie clips would keep their attention span focused into the movie. The first movie that comes that I would like to try this strategy is with Coco. I believe that by using short clips it would be a good tool to study the traditions of “Dia de los Muertos” with my 1st graders.

Now that I have watched parts of Late Spring, I would like to watch the whole movie and then the other two movies of the “Noriko Trilogy” ( Early Summer and Tokio Story). I wonder why did Ozu decided to use the same name for the main female character?
