Regarding our last discussion about the 12 fallacies:
I think in my paper that I tried to disprove the fallacies about films killing imagination, having less psychological development, etc. Because I really tried to focus on the characters in the films. It was hard, though, not to think about the books I had read as well in choosing evidence, and in one review of the The Reader (book) on Amazon.com, someone said that it had a lot more character development than the film.
But I watched The Reader with my parents last weekend, and although, for example, my dad had questions about the character, it still got him to think about the character. So I think that this disproves the fallacy (which I don't have in front of me right now, so if I'm a little off base, I apologize!) And perhaps psychological stuff isn't as obvious, but I think it can be analyzed out of a film.
