  • On Using Movies to Inform Conscious Aging Courses
    On Using Movies to inform Conscious Aging Courses Over the past 4 years I have taught nine, eight-week Conscious Aging courses at Sydney University’s Centre for Continuing Education in Australia. In 2010, I attended the first International Sage-ing Conference in Denver, CO, where Judy Steiert (CSL) gave an inspiring presentation on using movies to inform the Sage-ing materials. I was hooked. Having taught a number of 8-week courses (2 hours/week) without the use of movies, I came home to Australia and designed a course around 8 movies. I extended each class to 3 hours, to allow the time to watch a movie each week and leave some time for discussion. Using movies is a powerful tool for illustrating Sage-ing themes and allows students to really ‘get’, with an emotional catharsis, the importance of the various processes described as necessary in the sage-ing journey. Students find it much easier to discuss and relate to the topics, when they’re portrayed in the lives of characters in a film, than having to find examples in their own experience. It gives them extra time and space to locate the emotions and events and do the required harvesting and healing work in their own lives. Fiction, speaks to deep truths in ourselves. By addressing universal themes, it also allows us to see that we are not alone; it points to the communion of all people and by holding up a mirror to our shared humanity, allows us to see ourselves more clearly. I have found using movies to illustrate and guide the discussion and exploration of the Sage-ing process extremely rewarding and wanted to share some information about the movies I have used with Sage- ing International members.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in the coverup caper "Just Go With It." Natalie Portman as a commitment- phobe in "No Strings Attached." Riches-to-rags-to- romance in "From Prada to Nada." Vince Vaughn facing "The Dilemma" after witnessing infidelity. Paul Giamatti aiming for romantic redemption in "Barney's Version." And if those don't cover all the bases, "Gnomeo & Juliet" animates the genre. "Romantic comedies are very big," said Elayne Rapping, professor of American studies specializing in popular culture at the State University of New York at Buffalo. "Right now, we're in the mood for a much more idealized view of everything, but certainly, especially, romantic and sexual relationships. These movies become popular in times when there's a lot of social disruption." Never mind that romance causes its fair share of it, as the divorce rate and anyone over age 13 can attest. Hollywood's depictions often are crass and cliched. But once in a while, these movies offer a realistic lesson along with a laugh, if only in the form of a cautionary tale about who, when and why not to love.
