This week in Global Film Studies class we will be watching a Mongolian foreign film called "The Story of the Weeping Camel". I have never really "scene" a foreign film before, so I am pretty excited to be exposed to something with more of a global and international flavor. I really don't know that much about the country of Mongolia, however I do know that it is a rural and remote country that lies between China and Russia. I am slightly skeptic about that this film can maintain a plot based solely on a camel. What does it's ability to cry have to do with anything? Why is a camel crying in the first place? I am interested in what the plot will be about, and I look forward to making a "cultural bridge" between the society of Mongolia and myself. I believe that by watching this movie, many of my questions will become answers.I guess i'm just going to have to watch "The Weeping Camel" to find out what its all about!
