After watching one of the optional movies/videos listed below, write a one- to two-page analysis of the movie (double-spaced, one-inch margins, font size 10 or 12).  Your paper should include

• a short introduction
• a brief plot summary (and I do mean brief!)
  
• a detailed assessment of the movie's historical accuracy
• some commentary about the personal impact of the movie/video, e.g., What did you find troubling or not so about the movie or the event being portrayed?

Please keep in mind that whenever you watch a film, you need to be aware of the three time frames present. I will use as an example a movie that I often show in my HIS 102 class

1.  The time that the event portrayed in the film took place.  For example, the movie All Quiet on the Western Front deals with World War I.  That means that the events in the film are expected to have taken place between 1914 and 1918.  That is the film's initial frame of reference.

2.  The date that the film was made.  The Lewis Milestone version of All Quiet on the Western Front was released in 1930.  That makes for a much different version than the 1979 version of the film by Delbert Mann.  There are not only differences in available technologies (sound had just begun to be used in movies by 1930) but also different perceptions of the event by the film's director (and screenwriter).

3.  Finally, the date that you are watching the film.  Again, take the 1930 film, the viewer watching that film in 1931 had a much different experience than someone watching the movie in 1951, and both of those will be much different than your viewing in 2006.
