Compare and contrast in detail any two films from the films shown in class during term
Compare and contrast in detail any two films from the films shown in class during term 2. You need to discuss the political messages conveyed in these films as well as briefly sketch the specific political or historical background of the subject matter(s) of these films. Importantly, you need to show if and how the films succeed in conveying a political message. In particular, you need to develop a comparative evaluation of the different strategies employed by the movies to confront historical issues by using the screen to evoke a sense of involvement in the situation portrayed. Reference to at least one of the formal dimensions of a film presented by L. Giannetti and discussed in class is essential. Reference to other primary sources (i.e. films) or secondary sources (background and readings suggested on the syllabus) is desirable.
