For week 4, I asked all students to 'Take one section from the Burke essay, and describe in about 150 words one moment from a film or television programme (of your choice) that exemplifies the characteristic he describes.' Again, for revision purposes, I've collected all the responses here:
Michelle Cheung - 'Obscurity and Psycho'
Laura Dodds - 'Obscurity and Eraserhead'
Damon Hannis - 'Vastness, Infinity and 2001: A Space Odyssey'
Alfred Joyner - 'Sound, Loudness and Psycho'
Jack Porter - 'Feeling, Pain and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'
Ellie Prime - 'Power and Hotel Rwanda
Lucy Reeves - 'Power and The Pianist'
Ed Smith - 'Power and There Will Be Blood'
Krisztina Szemerey - 'Vastness, Infinity and The Lion King'
Kristina Tarasova - 'Sound, Loudness and Funny Games
When they are collated together like this, it's clear there is such an interestingly diverse selection of films here. If you end up writing about the sublime, it may be worth returning to this list and judging which you believe to create a 'sublime experience' and which do not. This may help you to think about what exactly you think of as a sublime experience.
