The 2025-26 NBA season is only a week old and we’ve already seen historic performances, big surprises and involvement from the FBI. The season kicked off last Tuesday with an instant classic between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets. The game went to double overtime and came down to a single missed shot from the Rockets’ Jabari Smith Jr. to decide the game, with the Thunder coming out with the season’s first win. This game would prove to be prophetic of what would come over the next week.

The second annual Albertine French Film Festival is now in full swing at the University. Last year, the festival’s inaugural week showcased a sweeping selection of contemporary French films at the Wasserman Cinemateque free of charge. Now in its second run, the festival presented by the French and Francophone Studies Program of the Department of Romance Studies spotlights even more French films, each of which pack a strong cultural punch. The festival began on Friday, Oct. 17, with the dark yet vibrant film “Disco Boy” (2023), providing the festival’s “Spotlight on Drama.” This week, the festival moved on to its “Spotlight on Documentary” with the haunting one-hour documentary “Dahomey” (2024), directed by Mati Diop. With a restrained and dreamlike meditation on colonialism and the effectiveness of restitution, this film follows 26 stolen royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey as they are returned from Paris to their country of origin, the modern-day Republic of Benin.

Welcome back, Brandesians, to the second edition of The Opinion. In the previous edition, I discussed the intensity of University clubs — with many clubs mirroring today’s politics and stressors, which many students prefer to avoid. I argued that clubs should be taken less seriously not only for the betterment of students’ mental health, but also to improve campus culture as a whole. Today’s opinion will tackle a topic that I have heard discussed in the library numerous times.

I’ve recently set about collecting data that might give me a peek into the general personality of Brandeis students. For this study, I used the “Big Five personality traits” framework because it’s one of the most frequently used models of measuring personality. It observes all personalities as having varying levels of the same five traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. These traits are defined by Mark Dziak in his article, “Big Five personality traits.” Openness is defined as “a person’s willingness to engage with novel ideas and experiences.” Extraversion is “marked by sociability and assertiveness.” Conscientiousness is one’s tendency to be “organized and goal-oriented.” Agreeableness is one’s tendency to be “kind and empathetic” towards others. Finally, neuroticism is “associated with emotional instability and anxiety.”

I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s “Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits” exhibit just before it closed on Sunday, Sept. 7. The exhibition was an in-depth look into Vincent Van Gogh’s relationship with the art of portraiture, the Roulin family and his struggle with mental illness during the last years of his life. It featured 23 different Van Gogh works, both owned by the Museum of Fine Arts and works on loan, along with formative portraits from previous Dutch masters, Japanese woodblock prints and letters sent to Van Gogh from Joseph Roulin. Curated altogether, the exhibit showcased Van Gogh’s portraiture of the Roulin family and painted a tender portrait of the artist himself. The exhibit was a look into what he admired about other artists and art forms, how he brought those inspirations into his art and his deeply important relationships with his family and friends.
