Hello my name is Morgan Raddatz
and I am a senior studying Communication at Alverno College. I am also
doing supports in Creative Writing, Spanish Language and Cultures and in English.
Communication is my third major change I have made while studying at
Alverno. My first two majors were Business Management and Early
Childhood Elementary Education. I have always called the Southside of Milwaukee home. I graduate Alverno College in December of 2017. I am involved with several student organizations on campus as well as doing several campus jobs.
My goal is to one day travel to several countries since I enjoy learning about the various cultures of the world. I cannot wait to begin this class on world films so I can learn more about cultures through film. My favorite movie would have to be Step Brothers although I enjoy watching pretty much any genre of movie. However, one thing is crucial, my favorite types of movies have to have interesting plot lines to keep me engaged otherwise I will tend to zone out.
As of now I really do not have a specific favorite foreign film, but I remember watching a foreign film in my high school Spanish class called <<Diario de Motocicleta>> or "The Motorcycle Diaries" (2004). This was a biographical-action film that depicted the motorcycle trips Che Guevara and Alberto Granado took in South America during 1952.
In addition, I have watched a film in a college Spanish class called <<Los Olvidados>> or "The Young and The Damned" which is a 1950 Mexican film that depicts the poverty and crime of a group of juvenile delinquents in Mexico City. Overall, watching these two movies showed me different perspectives besides those shown in American films. Hopefully with this class I can explore even more foreign films with varying perspectives.
