One of the surprises of this particular group of students is how reluctant they are to express their opinions, especially negative opinions, about the films we're watching. I wonder if they have the same problem outside of class or if it's just the formal classroom setting that makes them so shy about this sort of thing. Maybe it's because, in the context of this class, any opinion has to be backed up, as opposed to, say, posting an unsupported snarky comment on a message board. In any case, we clearly have to work on this.
