Once
you have sent Mr. Inloes the link to your blog, start a discussion
thread among your group members concerning the impact that the events of
9/11/01 have had on popular culture. Was Teresa Wiltz right in
discounting the dramatic pronouncements of pundits immediately following
the event, or will daily American life be forever altered in a
fundamental way? You may also want to respond to Sontag’s concerns about
the “infantilization” of public discourse.
Has viewing the disturbing images from
On Native Soil
changed your perspective on the impact of 9/11 on our culture? The
film’s stark editing and dramatic soundtrack evoke a visceral response
to the documented events. I found myself watching with a lump in my
throat, a factor of both the memories of the day and the style of the
film.
