Writing Issues in Movies Project


The Usual Suspects

Memento

Fight Club


There are a number of approaches that you might use.  The task, however, is to take two of the assignments below and transform them into your own polished creative pieces.

1.      Take any one of the movies from above and write about the movie as a whole, in the terms of its presentation (i.e. narrative technique, point of view) and its deeper meaning.  You may make this into a poem or any other genre, including a formal essay, but you must demonstrate your mastery of not only the movie but your own artistic expression.


2.      Fantasy/Reality.  Write a poem or any other genre, including the essay form, on any two of the film’s handling of this issue.


3.      The Narrative Technique.  Write a poem or any other genre, including the essay form, on any two of the film’s handling of this issue.


4.      Social Commentary.  Write a poem or any other genre, including the essay form, on any two of the film’s handling of this issue.

This project is due a day after we have finished our last film.
