HNRS 250 A Beautiful Mind: Psychology at the Movies

What is happening in our brains when we watch a movie? Why do we react to movies the way that we do? Why did that character just do that thing? We will explore how psychology is represented in film and how psychology is working in us when we watch. There will be an extra emphasis on how music is used to enhance comprehension and emotional response. We will explore the great question of modern media: can film influence our behavior and thoughts?
