Make your posting any time after the first lecture (when we will view I Not Stupid) and before the second lecture on film. Reply to any one of the following questions:
1. If you have seen any other of Jack Neo's movies, how would you rate I Not Stupid in comparison to them?
2. Why do you think I Not Stupid was so successful at the box office in Singapore? [Try to move a bit further than just saying "it's funny"!]
3. Do you think a movie such as I Not Stupid can make any significant contribution to debates about the education system in Singapore, or does it only repeat stereotypes?
4. Choose any of the terminology discussed in your reading for this week and apply it to the movie.
5. Respond to a classmate's posting.
