Our one credit hour course–REL 360–returns for the fall semester with the showing of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. This 1999 crime/action film follows “Ghost Dog”, a hit-man for the mafia who models his life by the code of the samurai. When one of his missions goes awry, causing him to leave a witness alive, Ghost Dog himself becomes a target of the mafia.
The screening is open to everyone!
(Even if you’re not in the class!)
WHAT? REL 360 is a one-credit course designed to show four films throughout the semester that will provoke discussion about what exactly takes place when the humanities and popular culture collide.
WHEN? Thursday, August 25 @ 6:00 pm
WHERE? 235 Lloyd Hall
WHY? To promote intriguing discussions outside of a typical lecture-setting. It’s a free film and a fun way to spend a Thursday afternoon.
WHAT ELSE? Anyone can attend! If you decide you like the class, you can email Professor Bagger (mcbagger@ua.edu) for more information on the course, or visit the REL website.
Hope to see you there!
Cool!! Are these every week? I’ll put them on A&S’ radar.
