Review of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2012) by Julie T — 29 Apr 2014

I thoroughly enjoyed this lecture on how movies present the world to us, I didn't understand all of it as I found the Slavojs language to be unnecessarily complicated, he's obviously used to addressing university level audiences, and insists on calling a spade a shovel, loosing many of us mere mortals along the way.

His use of many of my favourite movies to illustrate and expand on his theory's made it much more enjoyable than it would have been as a flat lecture, some ideas were illuminating and thought provoking while others got lost in his use of language which was simply too intellectual .

I understand these are his ideas, which is I'm sure why he was given the job of presenter, but found his style of presenting difficult to watch, English is clearly not his first language and he has a heavy accent which technically makes him hard to follow, he also has nervous habits that again make viewing this than a pleasure, and it's a long film ( lecture) so perhaps his ideas would have been better presented by someone trained to act ? In simpler language more accessible to the prolateriate he would ,it seems, like to influence.

I did however find it fascinating . Only for those with enquiring minds who love movies .
