Discussion 1 movie

follow the attach instructions to complete this work.

Discussion, you will need to watch two films: 
BlackKklansman (Spike Lee. 2018) and a film of your choice from the provided list.

Film One:


BlackKklansman (Spike Lee. 2018)

Certain filmmakers have managed to make films both entertaining and thoughtful. Many of these films have become classic cinema and their directors are acknowledged as artists. One current filmmaker that falls into that category is Spike Lee. Over his career, starting with 
She’s Gotta Have It, Lee has made critically acclaimed films that address the issue of racism in today’s America with great films such as 
Do The Right Thing and 
Malcom X. His film 
BlackKklansman continues that tradition. Watch the film and consider how the film uses the past to reflect on today.

After watching 
BlackKklansman and thinking about how it reflects on our culture and society, watch one of the classic films and think about how it reflects elements of American Culture and if and how it is relevant to modern viewers. 

Film Two:

Watch one of the films in the list of classic films.

Over the last hundred years there is a consensus of great films, spread across many genres. Watch one of these films, keeping in mind the elements of a great film. Do you think the film you watched is “great?”  Why or why not? Think about how it reflects the American Culture of its time and if and how it is relevant to modern viewers. This should start your critical thinking about films; considering the direction, acting, screenplay, post-production – all the elements we will examine fuller later in the course.

· The 
Emotional Quality: the emotions that dominate the films.

Atmosphere: Describe the atmosphere or mood the films create. Are they light-hearted, tense, dark, dreamy, or somber?

·
Dialogue: Consider the dialogue in the films. Is it witty and humorous, serious, and philosophical, or filled with tension and conflict?

·
Soundtrack: Reflect on the films’ soundtracks and music. Does the music contribute to the tone? Is it melodic, suspenseful, or dissonant?

·
Narrative Style: Think about the way the stories are told. Are they straightforward and linear, or do they use non-linear storytelling techniques that affect the tone?

·
Themes: Consider the underlying themes of the films. Do they contribute to the overall tone? For example, a film exploring themes of hope and redemption may have an uplifting tone.

· Are the two films relevant to modern views? Is so, how, and if not, why not?
