Critical Analysis:
Your essay is not a review of the topic you choose, it is a critical analysis. Part of your grade is based on your own independent thought. It is your job to decide what you want to examine, and it is expected that you will use outside sources in analyzing those concerns. For example, as we have discussed in class, while a romantic-comedy may provide us with humour, melancholia, and sentimentality, this genre also has a specific function: to reaffirm the idea of “happily-ever-after,” “true love” and more. The way in which these ideas are presented and made “normal” would be a starting point for an essay on a romantic-comedy. You will examine the issues from the same perspective, critically. Finally, I am not concerned with whether you “like” the topic you choose and do not be concerned with whether I “like” the topic either.
Choose only one of the following topics.
Popular Cinema/Television:
- You (Netflix, 2018)
- Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2017)
- Mid 90s (Johah Hill, 2018)
must use 3 scholarly articles, must have watched one of the 3 topics listed, my choice would be “YOU” if possible.
