So what would you say some of those big issues are that are both found in film studies and in comparative and international education?

There's a basic question of representation, of what is real? What are we depicting? And there's a question of audience as to who we are writing for and how we treat our subjects.

There are all sorts of questions about assumptions with regard to how we act, with regard to determinism and agency.

And then if you want to be a little bit more granular, there are similarities and similar patterns with regard to the way in which the fields have developed its disciplines, and some theoretical issues.

So to give a couple of examples, theoretically, when you look at the history of comparative international education, at one point, there is a focus on the founding fathers.

And in film theory, auteur theory really looks at the unique styles of directors as individuals.

At different points at different times, those fixations become a bit passé as people move on.

Can you tell me a little bit about, you know, Parasite and how you saw, how you read it in relation to comparative education and film theory?
