It is part of the evaluation for Temas da Cultura Inglesa to read this article written by Josef Gugler and summarize it and make a comment about it. This document talks about the importance of showing films in classrooms, especially the African ones. Personally, I found this article very interesting because we are used to watch only films from Europe or the U.S and we barely hear about African movies and the way they retreat their own life in their own countries and after reading this, I wonder if they can’t give us a better idea of what is really going on in their countries and not Western movies that normally only show to the spectator the bad side. This article also made me want to watch African films but as I later found out, it’s very difficult to found many African films online and even more difficult with subtitles in Portuguese or even English. The author starts by saying that many academics don’t approve the use of films as a study method, thinking that this way professors are trying not to have a hard time teaching. However, films can give a clear and unique image about some situations that with only words, the student wouldn’t be that much elucidated. One of the biggest problems about showing films related to the African continent is that Western cinema normally only shows the problematic images and situations that occurs in the Arabic and African world making the alternate images of that two complicated world seemed very unreal and even the availability of African films is not as easy Western films so that is other thing that can difficult the selection even though nowadays, according to Gugler, it is more easy to have access to African films than twenty years ago. Maghreb and Egyptian films helped Gugler to show to his students the difficulties and the struggles like Fundamentalism or terrorism. Good examples of films that show that “problems” and that the author showed in his classes are The Battle of Algeri
