Higher Learning - 3

A very cliched movie trying to single-handedly deal with many issues in higher education, like race, gender, sex, and alcohol. All of this only leads to violence, and healing doesn't look like it is anywhere near this fictional college campus. It is an awfully exaggerated picture of what ideas are important and relevant, but fails to give complex issues their due. Seeing that this is my area of study at the moment, this film was helpful only in so far as to say that there are indeed places of pain in the area of life known as higher education.
