I took american film and it was interesting. One of my favourite modules. Even the black and white silent films were good for a few laughs if you're not the type who hates anything in black and white. As for writing essays, it's better than writing engin equations - at least you can write all sorts of crap.
Is there any film modules in nus besides this one? I think ENxxxx, Filmic Narratives(forgot code) and ASxxxx, American Film (forgot code too) already combined? I took both of them. Love films
