Our parents are supposed to teach us about love, sex, and marriage, but they often hide unpleasant or interesting truths from us. Television and the Internet typically coarsen and dumb things down too much, and, of course, nobody reads books anymore. That leaves the movies. In this workshop, we'll go to the movies to get bigger-than life images of the horrors, miseries, joys, and everyday tedium of love. We'll look at clips from movies ranging from Wuthering Heights and Raisin in the Sun to Juno and Brokeback Mountain, among others, to gain insights about adult love. You'll get an overview of the central issues in real-life romance and marriage, and leave with a sense of how to choose and study movies to identify messages that may be useful to your clients (or yourself).
