Draft your essay in 4 parts

1. Write a general review of the film speaking to the storytelling and the technical approach to the filmmaking. Refer to at least 3 specific moments in the film (indicating the time they occur) and how they illustrate demonstrate your points.
2. Respond to the Article. Do you agree with the writer’s point of view? Why or why not? Quote specific lines from the article and if you agree, add your own examples, if you disagree provide counterexamples.
3. Reflect personally on the film. What is the film asking you to think about? What do you think the filmmaker has to say to you? All of these films were made by people who really believe in what they are doing. What can you take away from the movie?
4. Pose a question about the film that you didn’t understand and try to answer it. Was there a moment that didn’t make sense in the big picture of the story? Was there a character that you didn’t understand their role? Was there a strange choice for soundtrack? Did the editing do something weird at some point?
