167. TRAGEDIES of Misunderstanding

from The Filmlings · host The Filmlings

To wrap up the tragedy series, Alex and Jonathan look at three films characterized by the ways in which the characters' difference of perspectives causes the primary conflict in part or whole: A Woman Under the Influence (1974), The Elephant Man (1980), and The Farewell (2019). We discuss whether or not the term "tragedy" is still a useful distinction, the role compassion plays in understanding, and why we need a healthy balance of real-life experience and "imitation" through storytelling. Skip to: (16:48) – A Woman Under the Influence (46:54) – The Elephant Man (1:10:19) – The Farewell (1:31:39) – Overall (1:43:46) – Coming Attractions Coming Attractions: Stay tuned for a new series on American comedy films coming up in 2025!
