Superficial love might provide a temporary high, but to understand a deeper kind of love, we need films that are courageous enough to challenge our assumptions about love without dashing our hope.

I challenge future teachers by having them read texts and watch films that complicate their assumptions—hoping that they will avoid both reserved cynicism and naive optimism.

Humans are aesthetic creatures. We take in experience, time and space, through our senses. We then must use discernment to understand the qualities and meanings of those experiences. This means that we need to be mindful of our curiousity as well as good stewards of our time. Film trailers can help us with these two challenges.
