This assignment is related to the course material on States of Consciousness. You should review the textbook and lectures on this topic before beginning this assignment. You need to submit an original post and then comment on two of your peers’ posts in order to earn credit for this assignment. Your original post should be a minimum of 250 words and each peer comment should be a minimum of 100 words.
Choose any movie (must be at least 1 hour long) that is about altered states of consciousness. This can be about drugs, alcohol, sleep, dreams, hypnosis, religious experiences (that alter consciousness) – anything where altered consciousness is at the forefront of the film. Tip: If you can apply the assignment’s prompts to the movie, then it is an appropriate choice for this assignment!
Some movie examples include (but are not limited to):
Trainspotting
Requiem for Dream
Icaros: A Vision
Dead Awake
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
What the Bleep Do We Know?
DMT: The Spirt Molecule
Blow
Sleep Dealer
Huicholes: The Last Peyote Guardians
Documentaries on spiritual experiences or autobiographical films
In your original post, discuss the following and number each of your responses.
Why did you choose this movie?
Give a brief summary of one of the parts of the movie pertaining to altered consciousness – not the entire movie and DO NOT copy a movie summary from the internet. This should give enough detail so that the reader can understand what is going on with the character(s).
Analyze what this person or people are experiencing (drug classification and effects or sleep cycles – whatever aspect of consciousness this movie entails). This must entail a specific reference to your text- integrate appropriate concepts.
Give your overall impression of this movie and what this person/people were experiencing. This is subjective – how did it make you feel, what did you learn, what did you find interesting, scary, etc.
*Don’t forget you should have several APA in-text citations in the body of your original post and at least two full APA references (your textbook and your chosen movie) at the end of your paper. You may choose to cite other scholarly sources in addition to your textbook.
Original post is due Thursday of this Module (10 points possible)
Two (2) peer comments are due Sunday of this Module (10 points possible – 5 points possible for each peer comment).
