Write a 400-word journal, it should be written based on the assigned films. In the journal, you should demonstrate that 1) you have watched the film AND 2) you can articulate the main arguments of the assigned readings in relation to the film. Introduce your interpretation of the film/certain elements of the film, make reference to certain passages from the reading(s) that relate to your claim(s), then cite specific examples from the film that substantiate your interpretation/argument. In other words, the journal should base on your critical analysis of the film in conjunction with the assigned readings.
