Watch and analyze the film by discussing the values and ethics that it promotes. Then, write a short film analysis, focusing on what aspects of your chosen film reflect or strike a chord with your generation or offer some insight into the views of your cultural community. Your purpose here is to make an argument about how and why your chosen film represents your generation or cultural community. Use evidence from the film (narrative and visual details, scenes, dialogue, cinematography, use of sound, etc.) to support your claims. Your thesis should make a specific, argumentative, analytical claim about the chosen film; your paper will support that claim with specific, detailed analysis of mise-en-scene from the films. A good thesis is specific in that it: a) makes a claim that can easily be supported in a detailed fashion in 6-7 pages, and b) is specific to the work at hand. It is argumentative in that it is not obvious or self-evident, and therefore must work to convince a reader to adopt a new point of view. It is analytical in that it considers not just what is being said, but how and why works of art and/or popular culture express meaning. Once you have formulated a strong thesis concerning the film you choose, analyze representative scenes carefully, and show your reader your interpretive slant on tfilmic text through solid close reading. It will also be helpful to respond to what some of the film critics say; you are required to consult two outside sources for tassignment. The experts might agree with your thesis (or not), so you could use their arguments as support for your thesis or you could argue against them. Think of tprocess as engaging in a conversation with other critics on the same topic. Choose short quotations from the critics and respond to them in your paper. Incorporate thquotes and responses at appropriate places in your argument, either disagreeing with the critics or using their ideas to support your argument. I?ll be looking for your ability to integrate those sources with your own analysis. Please note that what I mean by film criticism does not include Answers.or other generic internet search sites; rather, try to find more substantial criticism in such sources as: Film Criticism, Sight & Sound, Cineaste, Films
