Choose one of the films below and discuss the values the film portrays. Explain in what ways the director uses the tools of his trade to help tell his/her story. I am not concerned with the plot of the film, I have already seen it, but tell me about your take on what the filmmaker is trying to say with his/her film and support your discussion with examples from the film. You don’t have agree with the values in the film, an interesting option is to pick a film you strongly disagree with, but make sure you support your rebuke of those values with examples from the film. This will be turned in Canvas. Word count should be no less than 1500.
