Not a movie, but in Breaking Bad, Walter White talks about how chemistry is the study of change, and I think in another episode he talks about chiral molecules being the same atoms, but rearranged, both basically laying out his entire character arc for the series. Is your list limited to school lectures? Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Feb 26, 2018 |

Seems like one of the scenes in Waking Life was in a lecture hall, and there was one in Boyhood as well. edit: this is what I was thinking of https://vimeo.com/35992277

Know1ng has an extremely funny one. Enos Cabell posted:edit: this is what I was thinking of https://vimeo.com/35992277 There's something about the directness of it (and many Linklater films) that makes it really exhilarating; Waking Life is either really annoying and obvious or refreshing in its earnestness.

Can anyone think of any movies where there are two (or more) parallel, mostly separate investigations looking into the same event?

There is at least one episode of House where he is giving a lecture to students and summing up the themes of the episode

Would scenes showing the main crew accidentally busting an undercover op that the audience doesn’t know about count? Cos that happens quite a few times. Point Break is always a fun example.

The scene in all the trailers for Wrinkle In Time. "More like we Wrinkle it." I also just watched The Freshman (the Matthew Broderick one) and they watch The Godfather in their film classes which leads to him getting antsy about being involved with the mob.

Point Break is always a fun example. I'm thinking more where there's two Philip Marlowe types working independently of each other on the same case. It seems like you could do some fun stuff with overlapping/conflicting info but it'd probably just get too confusing for an audience to actually follow

Add Pay It Forward to the lecture list, because Kevin Spacey (yeah...) plays a social studies teacher. I have not seen Freedom Writers with Hillary Swank, but it might fit the bill.

The lecture in Halloween talks about fate as a force of nature, which is Michael Myers in a nutshell. Nightmare on Elm Street has a scene like this too, regarding dreams in Hamlet.

Zodiac and I guess the midsection of LA Confidential. There's a lot of detective noir where the PI runs into the police on the same case but they don't tend to follow the official investigation edit: No Country For Old Men should count. Also M.

I've got like 15 or so off the top of my head and referring to an incomplete IMDB list but I'm curious if anyone knows any that aren't obvious? I don't know if it has anything to do with the theme, but there's a brief maths lecture in Alain Robbe-Grillet's Eden and After. I think you could probably read something into it, with the way it's talking about the projection and creation of images, but maybe I'm just talking bullshit

In Homicide: The Movie, Pembleton is giving a college lecture about how morality as a construct cannot exist without formal religion when he's told that Giardello has been shot; throughout the series Bayliss gradually gave up his religious upbringing, and at the end of the movie he confesses to Pembleton that he executed a killer who walked on a technicality.

I was sick yesterday and stayed home and watched No Country for Old Men for the first time in a few years. This time I noticed the very obvious parallels drawn between Moss and Chigurh and the fact that they're different sides of the same coin, with Moss only dying in the end because he's "betrayed" by his mother-in-law. Is it the conclusion of the writers (I know McCarthy wrote it, but I remember the novel had some slight difference in how Moss died) that Moss' weakness and the reason he fails to defeat Chigurh because of his connections to people?

Groovelord Neato posted:why did they call the newest pirates movie salazar's revenge in other countries? No idea, but my guesses: - "Dead men tell no tales" is a phrase not well known outside of English speaking countries (the same reasoning that turned Live Free or Die Hard into Die Hard 4.0). - Fear that it would lead to future confusion/mix-ups with "Dead's Man Chest" (PotC #2).
