The evolution of black hole representation is the perfect metaphor for physics education. You start with the terrifying Schwarzschild metric (that equation that haunts your dreams), then progress to the gorgeous CGI black hole from Interstellar that makes you feel like you understand something, and finally end up with the blurry Event Horizon Telescope image that resembles a donut with an identity crisis. Much like your understanding of General Relativity by semester's end - technically correct but suspiciously fuzzy around the edges. Nothing says "I survived GR" like being able to recognize a black hole in all its mathematical, cinematic, and disappointing real-life forms!
