(Italy with the cannibalism exploitation films era which I need to look into! I'm super curious why that happened! Maybe Catholicism just makes you super hungry!)
I laughed out loud at that last line! Then I remembered that Catholicism has symbolic cannibalism built right into it, so you might be onto something there...
Anyway, it's really interesting to consider films in their original temporal contexts, and it's not something I've really done much of, aside from the standard "that's just how it was back then." I think it would be worth doing this in the future, especially with movies that really resonate with me. Who knows what fun (and possibly disturbing) facts I might unearth!
It sounds like you're really enjoying your studies, and that's awesome! And I like your analogy of new writers and baby birds; creative expression is a wide-open sky, and it's thrilling to see others discover that in real-time. :D
