AI 295 - Morality And Ethics in Film

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

In the early days of movies, people flocked to the theater to see the good guys (white hats) triumph over the bad guys (black hats). As the art of cinema evolved, the characters and the ethical issues they faced became more challenging and complex. Through in-class screenings and related readings, this course will examine films whose themes strongly concern the depiction of ethical and moral choice. We will discuss the ways in which the film makers create meaningful ethical dilemmas; how the characters' choices are portrayed; and how these portrayals may influence our own formulation of value systems and ethical choices.
