Your assignment is to write a 5 page (double-spaced) movie review of two movies as if they
were a two-part series. The first movie is to be from the “Golden Age” of American cinema
(produced between 1917 and 1960), and the second movie is to be from the contemporary
period.
You will write as if you were writing for a journal called Film and History, and your job is to
analyze how and why representation of a particular culturally-marked group in the United States
(a racial, ethnic, or religious group, a gendered group, a sexual minority, a particular social class,
people with disabilities, immigrants, or any other culturally-marked group) has changed over
time.
To start with, you are to identify how the group you have chosen has been represented in both
films, and how those representations have or have not changed over time. You are to use
concepts both from lectures and from Chapters 1-3 from Sturken and Cartwright’s book in
your discussion. Please focus not only on the cultural stereotypes about the group in question,
but on the entire discursive systems (Chapter 3) that allow such stereotypes to exist in the first
place. This means thinking about the political, economic, and social forces that give rise to those
images – as well as the forces that have (or have not) led to changes in how the group you are
focusing on, has been represented. Where applicable, please supplement your review by concepts
introduced and discussed in lectures as well.
Please remember that this is still a film review – so please write simply and clearly. Generally
speaking, it will be more effective if you do not try to write about too many different aspects, but
rather use one or two topics as focal points for making larger general observations and analyses.
