Comfort level with R-rated films being shown in class (Christian student at a Christian School)

It would be interesting to know whether OP’s daughter and perhaps the professor might think whether it was possible to make the same points (especially wrt to Shakespeare reinterpretation, as the Oliver=> Fishburne evolution is essential) by showing excepts only.
I, too, can’t believe the professor hadn’t reviewed the film beforehand and imagine it’s a case of “overworked adjunct”. (What percentage instructors are tenure track or tenured, v. Transient, should be one of the key elements when evaluating a final choice, but it’s hard to find out. It’s another issue… )

Key skill: was she able to talk about the segments of the films she felt she could contribute about?
