AGING IN THE MOVIES | 50+ YRS Ray Montemayor, Ph.D. What can we learn about aging from films? How are older people portrayed on the silver screen? These are two of the questions we explore in this four-session movie and discussion experience. Each two-hour class session consists of watching a thought-provoking film with a theme about aging or with older main characters, and then discussing the issues raised by the movie. So, if you are tired of action movies or comic book superheroes, this course is for you.
