Write a 700 to 800-word response that critically reflects on this week’s film and at least one reading from the week. Relate them to each other and specifically discuss the historical significance of the film. If there was no assignment last week, you may write about either this week’s or last week’s film and readings. Your response should demonstrate your understanding of the reading and the film. Do not simply summarize the film. Rather, discuss how that film has contributed to the aesthetic and/or technical innovations in film history. Also, consider how each film reflects and influences its socio-political context. You must use proper citations for all sources in your response. Below are some questions to serve as prompts for reflection. You do not have to address all of these questions in your response.
1. What are the central arguments made by the films and/or the texts and how do they relate to each other?
2. What social, cultural, political, or historical issues are brought into focus in the films and how?
