Anybody have to watch this for a class assignment?




Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.

I had to see if for french class, but it was because that was the only film the teacher had in french at the moment. I'm not complaining, it's a great movie!

yes and now I have a test question about the questionable ethic presented in it and if it was real life how I would handle it as an edior. It's terrible.

Yes, I had to watch it in one of my introductory journalism classes at Ohio State in the early 90s.

All the President's Men was my landmark for a movie about journalism. But it was too much politic. Now Absence of Malice is clearly the best one I saw on journalism. Very happy I had that opportunity.

@ celbertin : Your french teacher asked you to listen an english movie ? What a bad idea. Even if it's translated, it makes no sense that she does not give you a real french movie !
