English speaking club

The members of discussion club listened to audio-record named “Martin Luter King Birthday”. They read, translated and discussed famous phrases by  prominent politic figure.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

On January 22, 2010 – a 135-anniversary from birth of David Wark Griffith, premier pioneering American film director, theoretic of film-making. Production of films started to be considered a special art  after his creative work.
The members of the club watched a small part of movie “The Birth of a Nation” and “Movie about movie”. Then everybody discussed  the subject of film, its artistic methods.

Vasil Tofel:
"The Birth of a Nation" is too long and a bit controversial (because it supports racist ideology). But at the same time this movie was extremely spectacular in 1915.
