Film Analysis Paper

Instructions:

Review this essay of 1200-1500 words that discusses the historical film chosen and how it connects to the history of human rights. Consider all the human rights issues studied in this course of “Human Rights in Modern World History” (and all the rights cited in documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). Which of those issues are addressed in this film? What does the film tell us about that issue? What message is the film trying to convey? How does it portray its main characters and subject matter? What is the lesson of this story? Why does this history matter to the present? Please, make sure to answer all these yellow parts.

Give your essay a title that conveys its thesis in a succinct way. You are encouraged to reach your own conclusions and historical judgments—do not simply repeat the points made by the reviews collected. This essay will be evaluated in terms of its factual accuracy, its use of evidence, its logic and consistency, its effectiveness of writing style and its overall persuasiveness.

This essay is to be your original work. No sources beyond the ones collected should be used. You may or may not rely upon, or discuss, the criticisms in those reviews. However, you MUST cite examples from the film to back up your arguments or analysis. You do not need footnotes for citations to evidence in the film (it is obvious where it came from). Otherwise, all quotations or paraphrasing from sources must be acknowledged and proper citation given in a footnote or parenthesis.
