Hi Folks!
This week, the assignment is to watch Radio Days which is available in the main office but not the library. There will only be one reading for this week: I hope this is a welcome break!
Friedman and Desser-Woody Allen
Prompt: For this week’s blog, you might consider how Radio Days’ ethnic family (both nuclear and more broadly communal)–is similar and different from the ethnic family in Goodfellas (1990). Also, radio is an important part of the film. Why is radio so crucial to the identities of the various family members? What kind of cultural connections does it allow them to make? When and where is ethnicity important to this connection?
