murdering hitchcock
It's strange, i didn't realise how ironic that title was until I had finished typing it. How odd. Anywhoo... in my 'American Cinema' class at the moment, we're concentrating on melodrama (not horror) and therefore films like 'Marnie' and 'Rebecca'. For this section, we have a new lecturer, and I'm not sure if I really like her, or really dislike her teaching methods. I think it might be because she knows the same sort of things that i do that I find her a bit boring - she's saying all of the things that seem pretty obvious to me. But then, i was talking to a guy after class about her, and he said that he prefers her to Harry (our last lecturer) because He was saying the obvious to him. Which, I think reiterates my suspicion that I only dislike her teaching methods because I'm so much like my lecturer. Can you really dislike a person because they're like you? And, if you can, should you change? because if you don't liek someone that's like you, logically aren't there aspects of yourself that you don't like?
Should I just try to accept things and go with the flow? Whenever i do that, i feel like i'm trying to be a chameleon. is that lying to yourself? or just being a quiet version of yourself?
As the movie 'I [heart] Huckabee's' says "when am I not myself?"

Diplomacy is a fine art...even when it only happens in your own head. If you were on an island by yourself, you could be who you wanted to be at all times. If you are around even one other person, though, you have to adapt somewhat. You just have to decide how far you'll ride "the flow".
I've met a few people like me...I liked them, but then again, I'm pretty happy with who I am.
Haven't seen "I Heart Huckabee's" yet, but I'll put it on my to-do list.
