If you joined us in 2023 for our previous free seminar on dining etiquette in Hollywood, and found it entertainingly educational, you will find the deeper dive into the subject even more so!
For over a century, motion pictures have enthralled, entertained and educated audiences around the world. Famous lines from hit movies, can immediately transport one back to the theater, to when they first heard the immortal words. “I’m the king of the world!” “There’s no place like home.” “I’ll be back.”… “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.“ “Here’s looking at you, kid.” “Houston, we have a problem.” "I have a head for business and a bod for sin."
All have resonated with movie audiences and pop culture for decades after the movies first arrived in theaters. Manners and mannerisms too, along with “etiquette lessons” seen in films, have affected pop-culture and moviegoers. I know this, due to the fact that so many of my etiquette class students over the last 35 years, young and old, have mentioned scenes from movies that left lasting impressions on them.
The movies are numerous. In this webinar, we will be covering many of them. Which motion pictures got the manners just right? Which motion pictures got the manners wrong? Which motion pictures should have steered clear of teaching manners to the theater going public? Which movies equated good manners with snobbery? Which movies made etiquette appear necessary for a civil society to thrive?
We will cover the films that have tickled us with their style in slyly teaching proper manners and mannerisms. We will cover the films which really got things muddled and were anything but helpful in teaching the theater going public that learning manners can be fun.
From delightful to dreadful, and back to delightful again, we are going to discuss these motion pictures, which have most stuck with us while entertaining us at the same time. Sit back, grab your popcorn and enjoy our visit to the movies. No 3-D glasses will be required!
We hope you’ll join us!
