We are back to the future - classes, that is -, this time around with science fiction in our 9th grade classes, where our next unit, "Final Frontiers", defies us to talk about some of the best sci-fi films ever. And is it not a coincidence that we are doing so the exact same month we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)?
Our students not only watched CineFix's video, but they also read The Guardian's 'Top 10 sci-fi movies', whose Top 10 tops CineFix's. Peter Bradshaw's introduction on sci-fi is also admirable, with one of the best takeaways we've read about the relevance of science fiction cinema:
"Science fiction has produced some of cinema's boldest and most glorious flights – in every sense. Sometimes patronised as kids' stuff, the genre seeks to look beyond the parochialism of most realist drama: to see other worlds and other existences, and therefore to look with a new, radically alienated eye at our own. Maybe something in the limitless possibilities of cinema itself spawned sci-fi."
