Note (as a kind of rubric): Please try to avoid COMPLETELY to mention the plot of the film. Focus on the Elements of Mis en scene. Push yourself to use film language in every sentence. Avoid words like great, wonderful, masterpiece, amazing, etc. Use your textbook (Looking at Movies) as much as possible.
