Analysis of a movie
Paper instructions:
Purpose: This project provides an opportunity for you to explore a few of the resources available in film and video on the many aspects of multiculturalism in the
United States and beyond. Choose 3 movies to view and review. The films will need to be rented or checked out from a public library for free. You may have already
seen a film, but please watch it again with new eyes, looking for connections with the material we are studying in Multicultural Education. Below is a short list of
possible choices. If you want to substitute another movie of your choice, please clear it with me before including it.
Suggested Films: I recommend the Amazon, Netflix, and IMDB websites for reviews of the movies below (although, of course, your summaries should be entirely
original!) Please be aware that some of these movies are rated Róchoose and view those that have content you are comfortable with. Please feel free to make
additional suggestions for this list.

Directions for reviewing videos/films:

3. Write a well-developed analysis of the multicultural value of the film or video. Provide specific examples of how the content of the film connects to, enriches,
or contradicts what you have read in the course textbook. What insights into a particular cultural group did you gain from this production?
4. Write a one paragraph reflection on your ìaffectiveî (emotional) response to the video/film. Were you inspired, saddened, angered, or frustrated by what
occurred? Did some aspect of multiculturalism become suddenly clear? (An ìahaî moment?)
