#Nodus tollens meaning movie#
But Abed refuses to continue to give notes and even though he isn't trying to make it decent - even though he wants to make it better - everyone finds that the movie actually isn't THAT terrible for how quickly they shot it and what they had to work with. I'd want the product I put out to be quality, not just. If someone told me that I had to turn in a sub-par first draft of a novel because it didn't really matter what the quality was and the end goal was just to finish quickly and make money, I'd be offended. So Abed agrees, begrudgingly, which impresses me. All that matters is that they finish in enough time to give it to Frankie's friend (guest star Steve Guttenberg), who can then turn around and sell it for a lot of money. Specifically, Jeff stops him and tells him that Abed needs to let go of editing and changing the movie and instead, embrace the larger picture: it doesn't matter what kind of movie they make or how good it is or isn't. When he begins to recommend making changes, the group stops him.
He's gone from someone being obsessed with viewing life as a television show to simply wanting to create a good product for others to consume. Abed Nadir has grown since the pilot episode. Abed wasn't being obsessive - he was just doing his job. He wanted to create a good movie and he was forced, by his friends, to lower his standards in order to finish on time. It didn't find him obsessive and controlling, unable to separate himself from his movie. I love that unlike his previous movie-making ventures ("Introduction to Film," "Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples," the documentary trilogy, etc.), "Intro to Recycled Cinema" didn't find Abed going over the top. I love when Abed isn't made to be the butt of jokes. I related to Abed a lot in this episode (I know, it was a shocker for me, too) since he was the most level-headed one. But since the movie needs to get finished by Monday, no one else really cares HOW it turns out just that it gets finished. He's an artist and he doesn't want to put out a product that's just satisfactory. If they can finish the movie and use the footage, they can sell the film and make Greendale a boatload of money.Ībed is on board so long as the movie passes his approval. But the group realizes something thanks to Abed - Chang helped him film a part in a movie. well, whatever Chang was supposed to be categorized as this season. He's the crazy, weird, probably actually insane former Spanish teacher turned security guard turned evil dictator turned.
Out of all the people to make it out of Greendale and become successful, Chang was the one that shouldn't have. They're all really baffled by this and a little bit offended, too. This was an episode where Abed's point-of-view was easy to understand and justify and where Jeff's (and the rest of the group's) was not.īefore we get to the heart of the episode, let's talk about the basic plot: Chang has made it big in Hollywood and as a result, has left Greendale and the group.
"Intro to Recycled Cinema" was a departure from that, really. And that's something that's more evident now than ever - not many people understand Abed. Over the years, Jeff has done his part to try and protect Abed and defend him, even when he doesn't understand him. These are two characters who should have more heartfelt moments between them in the series, given the fact that Abed was the first character Jeff really met at Greendale. So let's talk a little bit more about science-fiction, Chris Pratt, and Annie's boobs (not the monkey), shall we?Įpisodes like "Critical Film Studies" and "Advanced Introduction to Finality" introduced us to heartfelt moments between Jeff Winger and Abed Nadir. Realizations that occur between Jeff and Abed are usually more poignant than most and this episode was no exception. In "Intro to Recycled Cinema," we learn a little bit more about Jeff Winger than we did before.
