In The Mood For Love: Frames Within Frames
This is the best movie analysis I have seen so far. So deep, so insightful, and meticulous observation. I should do this as well - writing the interesting things on a notebook while watching it. The frames within frames technique really gave a a feeling of observing and immersing into the movie as a character. The characters become somebody who could be your neighbors next door. But does this decrease the empathy feeling that you have for the characters because you always judge your neighbors. But if your neighbor become your friends at some points then yo grow more empathy when they show their vulnerability and secret feelings.

Imagine a very vibrant comments section, but nicer," Gross says. "Many of them felt a personal connection with what she was saying, and they just started writing. It was so interactive: They were responding to the text and to each other."
This is a so much better way to engage students in conversation. I have been in classes where the students (including me) just skimmed the paper or totally skipped the reading and came to class without any idea for discussion.
