From our textbook reading this week in Hollywood Worldviews, Godawa (2009) indicates that movements such as romanticism and existentialism place an emphasis upon following one’s emotions (romanticism) and personal experience (existentialism), respectively, rather than one’s reason (logic). Given that contrast, answer the following questions in your initial post:
- Why do you think this type of approach to the world is appealing to audiences today?
- Do you think this approach to the world is positive? A negative? Or a mixture? Explain and defend your answer.
Within your answer in the initial post, include at least two direct quotations from this session’s assigned reading from Godawa. To demonstrate the skill of collegiate-level writing, quotations should be woven into your answer’s naturally (rather than merely “stuck on” or listed).
