Random post about why sometimes I feel like Dory

Two years ago. Elective Cinema class @ university. Final exam. The teacher explains that the test is really easy: you just have to see a scene on the screen and write down the title of the movie. Simple. He presses play. This is the English version of what happened in my mind:

Neuron 1: Uhhh, I think we saw this movie...

Neuron 2: Yes, it was in the class about...

Neuron 1: Italian Neorealism!

Neuron 2: No...uhm...how can you tell?

Neuron 1: Black and white? Depressive atmosphere?

Neuron 2: Yeah, but why not German Expressionism? 

Neuron 1: Do you see any Nosferatu or Doctor Caligari around?

Neuron 3: Stop you two! We need the title, that's the name of the movie not the style! OMG, the clip is ending and we have like 12 more questions to go... we'll never gonna make it...

Neuron 1: Let's try identifying the actors... 

Neuron 2: OK...

Neuron 1: ....

Neuron 2: .... 

Neuron 3: OMG, why are they silent??? The teacher is so mean, he chose a silent scene just to confuse us!!

Neuron 1: Maybe this film is from the class from Silent Films?

Neuron 2: Oh, just shut up, you're just giving stupid ideas! Does this clip have crappy quality? No. Is the people wearing creepy make-up? No! Do they act like in a freaking theater in Ancient Greece? No! Does it have titles everywhere? No! And hear that, the silent guy just puffed out...with sound, you moron! 

Neuron 3: OMG, I think that everyone around already answered, they are smiling conceitedly, they all are gonna have great grades and we're gonna fail the class...Oh, I think the teacher is going to show the next clip...OMG, I think I'm going to faint...

Neuron 1: Let's write anything, maybe we get it right...

Neuron 2: What should we write?

Neuron 3: ANYTHING, just hurry, hurry, HURRY!

Neuron 1: OK, OK, let's write...uh...Stromboli!

Neuron 2: But that's Italian Neorealism! Rossellini! AND Ingrid Bergman stars in it!! Do you see any Ingrid Bergman around?

Neuron 3 [thinking to herself in a lethargic state after being so hysterical]: Wasn't Stromboli the bad guy from Pinocchio?

Neuron 2 [interested]: Haha, yeah! That guy was so creepy!! He locked Pinocchio and wanted to exploit him and then use him to light the fire...

Neuron 3: OK.

Neuron 1: Or maybe this is a Nouvelle Vague film? After all, it's in black and white and is very depressing...

Neuron 4 [waking up]: What are we watching?

Epilogue: Multiply this for 12. Strangely, I passed that exam. Anyway, at some point the teacher did show a clip from Stromboli. Oh and I still don't know what movie was that.
