Like, the bulk of it is literally &quot;regurgitate everything you know about four movies.&quot; Like, why? What does this prove? That I can memorise who played Andy Dufresne, and that I think the high-angle shots in <i>The Full Monty<\/i> show a role reversal between father and son. If I, hypothetically, was to go into a career in the film industry, what does it matter that I can analyse every scene in <i>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest<\/i>? Sure, I've learned how lighting and colour and mise-en-sc\u00e9ne can amplify the effect of a scene, but in a context that literally will not help me ever. Forcing me to rewrite what I've already written before except under timed conditions and without notes does not prove a goddamn thing about <i>anything.<\/i>"}
