Film Review Assignment for Sociological Imagination
Film Review Assignment for Sociological Imagination
Directions:
Choose a fictitious film or television show to examine with your sociological imagination (not a documentary). It could be an animated picture, a drama, or a true story/biography, or a television show lasting 1.5 to 2 hours (the same show in a series).
Write a three- to four-page paper examining the film via a sociological lens. You’ll give a quick summary of the film before addressing its content in light of the sociological conversation we’re having in class and your readings. Choose one broad subject to apply to the film (for example, race, gender, or a specific theory). Define the theme clearly, citing Conley, and then discuss it. For example, if you’re talking about racism, talk about numerous sociological facets of racism; you may also talk about racism’s sub-themes (ethnocentrism, power, etc.). This narrowed analysis will allow you to think thoroughly and analytically about a certain subject. Some things you might want to think about when writing your analysis (note: these are merely suggestions to get you thinking; please don’t try to address all of them in your short essaypick just a few, if possible):
What cultural themes do you see in the movie?
Define and debate these concepts, citing Conley when paraphrasing or using his words, and utilizing Conley to support your interpretation.
Do the characters in the film participate in unequal relationships?
Is racism practiced by them?
Homophobia?
Sexism?
Ageism?
Provide Conley to text support to describe these terms and demonstrate how the examples you choose represent these concepts.
What social theory might you use to inform your interpretation of this film?
Identify the social theory and quote Conley’s text; next, using evidence from the film and Conley’s text, demonstrate how the film exemplifies this theory.
Define institutions, then use Conley’s help to prove that the examples you choose exemplify these principles.
Your paper should be typed, double-spaced, and include page numbers as well as a Reference Page (citing the film, the Conley book, and any other articles from the course that you cited in your essay). The page number requirement does not include the Reference Page.
