LaaF…Culture!

LECTURE CREATED BY DAVE K. AND GIVEN BY HIS FRIENDS (AS a random interpretive lecture).

TOPIC: Bollywood Films 101 and Arranged Marriage vs. “Love” Marriage

FILM: “Rab Ne Bana De Jodi” (2008)

DATE: original lecture given on March 27th, 2011

To make up for taking so long to post LaaF #44 I’m posting an old lecture.  I love Bollywood films and feel I had to defend the genre so much so I just made a lecture about it as an introduction to the genre.  I got so into making it that I stayed up all night and I got sick so I couldn’t actually give it.  So the LaaF friends decided to just give the lecture for me…as a game.  They put names in a hat and for each name that was pulled that person had to interpret and explain the slide with no prior preparation.  Apparently there were hilarious results such as Jez doing some awkward hip-thrusting.  In any case here are the power-point slides and hopefully you can make better sense of it.
