Write a historical analysis of the film. You should address the film using what you have learned from class. I recommend choosing a specific aspect of the film so that your paper can be more specific. I suggest that you watch the film with pen and paper near. Take notes. If a particular scene is of interest write down the time when that scene appears in the movie. This will allow you to go back and watch the scene again for evaluation. You may decide to talk about how this film is important historically or sociologically. You can talk about how the film fits into a specific film movement. You can discuss how the film relates to an older film or how it influences a newer film. You may discuss the entire film or a particular scene or sequence from the film. Your paper should be focused. Technical Details: Your paper should be APA or MLA format, 12 pt, double spaced. Your paper should be minimum of 2-pages. Your paper should include a work cited page (not part of the 2 pages). At minimum, cite the film that you are discussing. When writing, assume that the reader has not seen the film. You must fully describe what you are writing about. Work to remove the “I” voice from your writing. Example: Original Sentence: I found the characters in Inglorious Basterds to be well developed. I really liked Brad Pitt.
