Halb said: An Inspector Calls is one of my favourite films. A brilliant turn by Alistair Sim.
A very good early creepy supernatural chiller. I said this in a thread the other day but would seem relevant, My daughters English class had to watch it and read the book and review it. The teacher kept getting wound up because all the kids said it was all her fault for getting sacked and knocked up and then she made it worse by not accepting the cash and she basically did the right thing by killing herself Apparently she even made a few of them re write their work before marking it

Nothing wrong with having a personal response to a text, but if you blatantly ignore the writer's message and the socialist subtext then the mark will indeed be terrible

Exactly The teacher had bought the 'message' wholesale it would seem.

Yeah, but the fact of that being his message is irrefutable - that comes first and then the any personal disagreement/evaluation has to come after. The teacher did the right thing by getting them to rewrite it if they didn't acknowledge why he wrote it. I've spent the last fortnight marking three hundred similar papers!

I agree I still think its funny the kids getting the exact opposite ideas and winding up the teacher though Love the film it does make a good point even if it does lay it on thick.
