Black plays Dewey Finn, a seasoned rock guitarist who, at the beginning of the movie, is voted out of his own band. When he takes the sub teacher job, and proceeds to deceive the school, the principal, and the children themselves, I found it to be a little uncomfortable. After all, we're kind of rooting for this quasi-Guitar-Hero. But while Dewey is inspiring his students to push their musical and social abilities, he ends up encouraging them to break out of their comfort zones to be something more, and to be comfortable with who they are. Black himself seems like a guy who's pretty confident about who he is, and doesn't care what others think. Dewey is the same way, and while he shows some vulnerability when he overhears negative comments about himself or is told to his face he's a loser, he's ultimately pretty sure of who he is -- and he desperately wants others to share his love for the things that he's passionate about. Watching this movie 20 years later, we're out of the pop punk and emo craze of the early 2000's, and knee-deep in a musical climate that is still obsessed with hip hop, rap, auto-tune-heavy pop and Taylor Swift. All that to say, sadly, rock almost seems like a thing of the past in 2023. But any fans of the golden age of rock 'n' roll, or in my case 90's and early 00's Christian rock, may find the love of rock music in School of Rock to be rather endearing.

In recent years, students have held internships with national, regional and local media concerns, such as Logo/MTV Networks, Legendary Pictures, Technicolor-PostWorks New York, Skyscope Creative in Worcester, and WHDH-TV in Boston, as well as independent production companies in New York and London. Majors have opportunities for study abroad, often by pursuing 3-4 units of academic course work and an internship during one semester. Perth, London, Stirling, Osaka, Seville, and Cape Town have been popular recent destinations for Screen Studies majors.
