What were they students of? I HOPE not Literature!

No, English as a Second Language. :-)

The worst part was that I couldn't even rant about how bad it was,
because I was on the job. Part of the
Don't-do-anything-to-lessen-their-experience mindset. Plus, the Japanese
girls and a fellow teacher loved the movie, they were in tears at the
end.

So when asked of my opinion of the movie, I took the tactful route and
said it was too violent for my tastes. Most movies with a man dancing
with his head in a deer carcass are. I saved my full opinion for when I
was off the clock.
