Does academically roasting a movie featuring anthropology in some way sound like a fun way to spend your Wednesday morning? Then consider joining the anthropology club Wednesday, November 15th, from 11am to 2pm for a movie day!
The question you may be asking yourself now is, What movie are we watching? Well join us on our Groupme, link provided below, and vote for which move you want to watch!
We have four choices for Wednesday and they all relate to anthropology in very different, but very direct ways. First we have Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is about an archeologist who sucks as an archeologist. Next we have Krippendorf's Tribe, which is about an anthropologist who embezzles grant money and makes up a tribe to save face and hilarity ensues. Then we have Quest for Fire which is literally a movie about cavemen looking for fire that was partially written by a potentially very problematic anthropologist and the movie is spoken in an entirely made up caveman language. Lastly we have the horror movie Midsommer, which shows a bunch of anthropology grad students doing terrible field work and terrible things happen to them as a result.
Feel free to join the groupme and vote on which movie you would like to see!
