Ramapo College of New Jersey Week 11 World Cinema Movements Discussion

– 1 paragraph analyzing anything you find noteworthy about the weekly screening (full-length film). If you wish to write additional analysis to include one or more of the weekly clips, that’s great.

screening: The Graduate (Links to an external site.) (1967, Mike Nichols)

clips: Bonnie & Clyde – 1967 (Links to an external site.)

– 1 paragraph with analysis of the week’s readings – for example, you could elaborate on a concept you found interesting or argue against a concept in the readings.

Reading: “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” Laura Mulvey, Screen 16.3 (Autumn 1975)

“Toward a Truly Feminist Blockbuster Cinema,” Emily Yoshida, Vulture, 6/9/17 (Links to an external site.)

“…How Wonder Woman Broke Through the Male Gaze,” Brittney McNamara, Teen Vogue, 6/8/17 (Links to an external site.)

– Do not summarize the lecture content, the readings, or the films’ plots. Write about things you can analyze. For example: you could write about how a film uses a visual storytelling device like subjective camera or editing. If you are ever struggling for an idea, begin with the leading questions on the worksheet. Avoid writing reviews; that is a whole other style of writing.
