Explain your arguments with evidence from the film and by relating the core values and characteristics of the ideological spectrum we discussed in class.

Also, what is this film trying to say about politics? [Provide evidence from the film to support your argument.] How does that relate to specific topics we discussed in class?

Lastly, critique the films political message or the way the director delivered it, and offer specific suggestions on how he/she could have improved that message or its delivery in the film. [Dont include any summaries of the films plot Ive already seen it. Instead, this paper is supposed to showcase your analyses of the film.]
