 101 Movie Clips that Teach and Train $23.95 This is both a good reference for those who want to add impact and interest to the business training courses they create, as well as nice idea jumpstarter - in that it made me start thinking of scenes from other movies, tv shows and even commercials that might make useful tools around a topic. The clips span a variety of types of movies and scenes, from "The Muppet Movie" and "Forrest Gump" to "Gladiator" and "Empire Strikes Back", so it's easy to find something appropriate. One of it's better features is that each clip is listed with the topic areas that it is applicable to, and there's a selection for about every major business topic you'd train on (e.g. change management, teamwork, problem solving, goal setting, discrimination, innovative thinking, sales, etc., etc., etc). Plus, there's an index to the over 100 topic areas covered which directs you to the most applicable clips for your subject. Another feature that helps it's usefulness is that suggested clips that are proceeded by something that may not be suitable for all audiences or offensive are flagged with a CAUTION! to alert you to make sure to stop and start them appropriately. Each suggested clip is also listed with the movie title, distributor, year, film rating, plot summary, description of the clip, the time it appears in the movie (if you set it the DVD or VCR timer to 0:00 at the beginning of the film), the duration of the scene, and discussion questions. A couple of things could be slightly improved. I agree with another reviewer that it would be easier to find the clips if they included the DVD chapter number, and time within that chapter. I also didn't find the discussion questions provided all that great, but imagine they're more intended to get you thinking about the types of questions most relevant to what you're communicating.

Some of the interviews do sound very forced,(we southerners are insecure about how our accent will pick up on camera), but overall it was fine. The only thing I really disliked about this film was the way they edited in the students' comments over top of the Holocaust survivors' speeches. Let the survivors speak! I would much rather hear the stories in the words of the people who lived them than hear a 13 year old girl summarize them. |
