What's new on the French event front?
On Wednesday October 18th, we showed "le huitieme jour" (The Eigth Day). The movie viewing was very well attended by French and non French speaking students at Bryant.
About 25 students participated in the event, I can actually say that all of them were very engaged in the viewing and lots of physical reactions from laughters to questioning the plot altogether.
The end of the moving was obviously very unexpected, as most students were expected an all American happy ending but the chute was not. Overall, the movie was a great success and the students asked for another similar movie for next Spring because they enjoyed the artistic, cultural, humoristic and linguistic value brought by this movie.
personally, I have watched this movie 5 times already. let me tell you, I cannot hold back the tears at the end, I just can't. if you have not seen it, look it up and watch it, you will not regret it.. I promise. A beautiful story about what should not be discarded as what is important in life. Love, friendship and happiness..
Dean Brad Martin, also attended the movie event .
A faculty member wrote an email asking to be invited to all the French showing, That's terrific!
looking forward to our next showing. If you have any specific French film request, do not hesitate to let us know! We want to hear from you1 merci et a bientot pour de nouvelles aventures..
