Movie Critique
The media shapes the culture of the nation. There is much to
suspect in this consumer and pleasure seeking culture.
Nevertheless, we can find redeeming qualities by just exercising
some caution and discernment. Hollywood has and continues to
produce some outstanding films. In this assignment you are going to
look for and find some examples of films worth watching. You will
enjoy and learn from the experience. Your assignment is to watch a
movie that is based upon some historical event. Watch, evaluate and
critique the film. Here are the guidelines:
1. Discuss by describing what the story is about and critique it: story,
plot, characters etc.
2. Evaluate the accuracy based upon your readings, lectures or other
sources. Cite in the body of paper
3. How would you improve the story? It cannot be perfect!
This is a 25-point assignment that is typewritten and double-spaced.
The paper is due per calendar date. I will not accept late papers and
I do not accept electronic copies. The movie you select covers the
time frame of the course and is bonus points. If you are not clear
about the movies available, please ask for assistance. You may
critique foreign films.
