… and Duke professors are quick to assign his “filmic texts” (here’s the source for that euphemism), according to the Duke Chronicle. Lee’s “joint” “Bamboozled”
has become a classroom standard here at Duke, where professors from a wide range of departments including AAAS and cultural anthropology frequently show it in their classes. Jackson has used the film in everything from an introductory cultural anthropology class to a film class on the documentary experience.
The annual cost in tuition and fees at Duke right now is $30,720. The price for a rental at Blockbuster is around $4.50, I think. In other words, you can go to your local video store and get a “Duke-level” education at approximately 0.015 percent of the cost ? plus Blockbuster no longer charges late fees!
P.S. If watching videos is too stressful on a student’s mind, he can take “Intro to Massage Therapy” and “take turns giving classmates full body massages” (and presumably receiving them, too).
