I chose to go to see Sunset Boulevard because I usually really enjoy the events that GRF Sam hosts. I remember the first talk I went to with him explored the idea of modernity and depictions of black and gay people in contemporary work. During that talk, we talked about Josephine Baker’s Banana Dance. I could immediately see the relationship to that when the ape died in Sunset Boulevard, haha. Also, I was hosting a student for Diversity Hosting Month that night, so it was really nice that I got to show her some of the smaller, more personal events that Cornell has to offer. She said she liked how it was in the dorm, and she had also seen the movie before and told me she enjoyed it.
