School dilemma

[Cradle]

I’m in this literature, etc. course and we will be watching some films that contain impure and immoral material (and I’m willing to bet that they glorify said material) and I don’t know what to do. They are required viewing and we will discuss them in class afterwards, and this course is also a requirement for my major so I can’t drop it.

I really, really, really don’t want to watch them, I don’t want to be exposed to this disgusting stuff and I know that I’m not strong enough spiritually to just shrug off the impure thoughts that will probably come up, plus I struggle with scrupulosity so you can see how watching these films would just be a fount of stress for me. What should I do? Should I talk to a priest about this? I really need to do well in this class and I have a feeling the prof won’t be pleased… :nope:

Can you give us the names of the films? It is difficult to comment without knowing exactly what you are going to see. By the way what is your major?

Sure, no problem. The syllabus lists “Un Chien Andalou” and “L’age d’or” by Luis Bunuel and “No se lo digas a nadie” (“Don’t Tell Anyone”) by Francisco Lombardi. Others that might be questionable but don’t seem too bad from reading a short synopsis are “Camila” by Maria Luisa Bemberg, “Flamenco” by Carlos Saura, and “Los Olvidados” by Luis Bunuel, but if you have seen them and know otherwise then please, don’t hesitate to warn me.

As you can deduce, my major is Spanish (both lit and language). Help? :bigyikes:
