Movie Critique Assignment Sheet  (50 POINTS)

Overview:  History is a craft and writing is the craft of the historian.  It is the medium that any historian must use to disseminate interpretations of the past to the public and fellow historians.  In many ways the historian is much like a detective; gathering and evaluating evidence, forming hypothesis and drawing conclusions in order to find out who done it.  History is not memorizing facts, dates and people; it is how the historian analyzes and interprets information.  Film is history, it is a source that can be analyzed and interpreted.

Description:  A film analysis is not a review or summary of the plot, it should go deeper into analysis and reaction.  It should discuss the issues raised by the film, address the film’s importance and purpose, state reactions to the content and quality of the film, and connect it to ideas and material presented in class. IT should be a minimum of 2 pages and include the following (in any order you choose).  Please use the approved movie list. If you use a movie not on the list, you must email your instructor for approval.  Do not use other sources to analyze the movie, you will use only the movie itself.
