Do the Right Thing and post to your blog



Well, this was by far the most-discussed film in class this semester. Hopefully, you haven't exhausted every wonderful thing you have to say about it. Once again, here are the criteria for the blog posts. Pay attention to the note beneath the bullet-points:

o Discuss/analyze an important scene
o Expand on a discussion question from class, whether from a film or a reading
o Make a connection to the real world/current events
o Discuss/analyze an aspect of cinematic style important to the
film
o Discuss/analyze a topic or theme important to the film
o Relate it to another film, either from class or personal viewing
o Discuss ideas for future viewing inspired by film

Note that none of these bullet-points includes saying that you really, really liked or disliked the movie and why (that's what the polls at the top of the page are for). It's not that I don't care whether or not you liked it, but I'm far more interested in your analysis and interpretation than a cursory opinion.

So I read Sergio Leone's picks of the year, and I thought it was really funny- he said, "if 300 is the future of filmaking then I may have to learn how to read". Just thought you should know.
