Overview
Choose two of the following films and write an essay that explores how they describe the relationship between identity, reality, and truth. How do these films’ narratives challenge the identities and realities of their protagonists (and/or other main characters)? How does each film's form (cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, and sound (including dialogue)) problematize the notion of stable realities and secure “truths” about the world? Make an argument about how each film constructs the relationship between identity, reality, and truth.
Films: The Conversation, Zoot Suit, Blade Runner
