Reply #42: I chose AHX for less lofty reasons.

[KitSileya]

I only have my classes once a week, for 90 minutes each time. Most of them are sick to death of theoretical subjects, and have enough trouble passing Norwegian because of diverse learning problems, let alone continue to learn a foreign language, even if they have had it since they started school. So, AHX is a compromise film, enough action/drama to keep them happy, enough fodder for thought to keep me happy. I don't see a reason to torture my boys with movies that they consider boring and too difficult just because they are supposed to learn something while watching movies in class. How important is knowing how to analyse a film in a foreign language for a carpenter anyway? As long as they manage to order a beer when in Newcastle and communicate with foreign workers in the work place, I am happy.
