教学目标 Course Objectives
Film in the Twentieth Century is a disciplinary course for SUSTech undergraduate students who aim to learn the art of
film from a historical, theoretical, and analytical perspective. The course will offer: an overview of the development of film
art and technology in the West; a review of the work of major filmmakers to date; an interpretation of, and commentary
on, the most relevant movies of all times; an explanation of how a movie is conceived, structured, narrated, and delivered
to us; a comparison of film with other arts and languages. Students will engage in an academic discussion about the
importance and the influence of film across societies and cultures. Using technical vocabulary, they will ask and answer
such questions as: how are stories “manufactured”? Why are some stories on screen more successful than others? Why
did film become the most popular form of entertainment in the twentieth century? What language and grammar do
movies use to speak to us?
