Hey Everyone,
I just saw the movie Take Shelter…and WOW it’s completely full of just about everything we’re talking about in class! It focuses a lot on the psychology of a paranoid as well as apocalyptic visions/prophecy. It was really interesting to apply our readings to thinking about the movie…my mind snapped to class discussion and readings almost immediately. I would say it’s definitely worth seeing!
Here’s a link to the IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1675192/
Check it out if you have time….I’d love to hear what other people think about it!

I just want to echo Whitney’s enthusiastic recommendation. It’s a beautifully rendered film that will resonate with all our readings and discussions. Lee
