Notes On Today's Class--Oral Histories & Scorcese's "Italian American"

 This is an excellent example of family oral history,
 done on film.  It is Martin Scorcese's "Italian
 American."

 An interview with his parents.

 I appreciate how he gives both of his parents a lot of
 room to talk--he doesn't ask too many
 questions.

 But then, his parents don't give him many opportunities
 to ask questions . . .
