My "Writing About the Movies" class saw Body Heat last week and this week we talked about it. There was a spirited (to say the least) discussion about why Kathleen Turner's character did what she did, and why William Hurt's character did what he did. (In Hurt's case the most popular options were love, lust, money and some combination of those). These students all come from different backgrounds and have very different perspectives, which is one reason the discussion was so interesting. Also, the subject matter, in this case, seemed to bring out the differences in male and female perspectives.
