SOS! My teacher has assigned us to watch Emilia Perez, and it gets even worse—she actually enjoyed the film and wants us to write an essay about it. I can’t bear the thought of subjecting my classmates to this disaster. What should I do?

My classes are a bit silly
Here’s a fun rewrite of your post: My classes are a bit of a circus! Here’s the lineup that adds to the silliness: Period 1 (Math): Our math teachers barely cover the material, and when they do, it’s just a few slides on a slideshow. Somehow, we’re expected to absorb all the knowledge in the […]

I totally understand your frustration! It can be tough when a teacher assigns something you really don’t want to watch. Here are a few suggestions:
Keep an Open Mind: Sometimes movies can surprise us! Try watching it with a different perspective, and you might find some elements to discuss in your essay.
Find the Positives: If you really can’t stand the film, focus on aspects you might appreciate, like character development, themes, or even just the cinematography. This can help make your essay more bearable.
Talk to Your Teacher: If you feel strongly about it, consider having a conversation with your teacher. Explain your feelings and see if there’s an alternative assignment you could do.
Get Support: If others in your class feel the same way, talk to them. You might be able to brainstorm together on how to tackle the assignment without too much pain.
Plan Your Essay Wisely: If you have to write about it, structure your essay in a way that allows you to express your opinions and thoughts critically, even if you didn’t enjoy it.
Ultimately, your teacher likely sees value in the film for certain lessons, so engaging with it, even if you don’t like it, could be beneficial in the long run. Good luck!
