Heart of Darkness versus Slumdog Millionaire
For the past month or so, my English Criticism class has been constantly been getting sidetracked and have talked in great length about Slumdog Millionaire instead of the assigned reading. Today, having failed to read the assigned essay about Heart of Darkness, I was not allowed to voice my opinion on the book and whether or not the author is racist. However, when we transitioned in to Slumdog, the instructor it seems has many opinions about the film. The film that she has not seen.
My question is: Do I point out that she is commenting on a film that she has not seen?

Hell yes! I hated when profs pulled shit like that.

Absolutely point it out. I hate when people voice opinions about movies they've not seen.
And then read the rest of Heart of Darkness!

Maybe you should compare/contrast Conrad with Slumdog. There was a lot of racism in both of them!

I sent her an e-mail asking if Slumdog would somehow be related to the final.
