A Plastic Ocean Critical Thinking Review

 

The films on this list hit on some of the topics related to material in this course and a preview of some of the topics that will be covered in other courses. Some are non-fiction documentaries, some are fictional movies that present interesting philosophical questions. All of them are thought provoking, dare I say, fun and philosophical. Most of them are currently available on Netflix and other streaming platforms.

Choose 4 of the following films to watch and think critically about and write a one page, single-spaced reflection for each in regard to some of the philosophical questions that you thought of during the movie and discussion. How does film and the questions it brings up make you think about your place in this world, your place with each other, and you as an individual, as a human? How do they impact your worldview.
