Contemporary World History Liam O’Mara IV
film review assignment sheet 23.III.2020
You have two films to watch at home – be sure to take notes! You should be watching
for the following: historical accuracy and/or believability and – most importantly – how
it relates to events and/or issues relevant to the class.
This is a critical film review, not a summary of the films or a review of their technical or
artistic merits (though you can include such if you like). What you need to identify is
how it relates to the course; then, discuss events or issues that the film raises and cite
class readings and lectures/discussions that intersect with the film’s content.
Note well: A review that does not cite class material is not complete, and its grade will
suffer greatly! These papers do not need any additional reading to tackle the issues
raised, given that each of the film options covers issues raised in class. This means that
you absolutely must cite the lectures, and possibly the textbook or source documents
as necessary. NO GOOGLING. If you need any help or guidance in identifying what is
going on in the film you chose, or suggestions on readings, please feel free to ask me.
The closer you get to formatting suggested in the Chicago Manual of Style, the happier
I will be. If you want your professor in a good mood, take a glance at the citation
guidelines you can find on-line, and at the brief summary of points that I included on
the course syllabus.
Your goal should be an accurate and thorough engagement with, and discussion of, the
main features of the films relevant to our course. Both films are on a related topic,
allowing you to use material from only a handful of lectures, and allowing you to tie
both films together.
Your paper need not be overly long, but it should be four pages. Remember that writing
concisely is generally more difficult, since I will be looking for specific points in each of
these films and you have to be able to find and discuss as many of these as possible.
The assignment is worth 10% of your grade and is due in Blackboard on Monday, 4
May.
