Assignment: Film Analysis Paper Due Friday, October 15, 2021
Assignment Description: A film analysis is not a review or summary of the plot; it should go
deeper into analysis and reaction. It should discuss the issues raised by the film, address the films
importance and purpose, state reactions to the content and quality of the film, and connect it to
ideas and material presented in class. It should be a minimum of 4 pages and include the following
(in any order you choose).
The selected film should be viewed in its entirety. The analysis paper should outline and
summarize the students sense about why this film is especially relevant to our class, what the
relevant meanings and insights to be gained from it may be, how it advances some of the
perspectives we have considered thus far; and how it applies to the students personal experience
and leadership view.
Procedure:
Select from one of these films listed below and write a film analysis paper:
We Were Soldiers (2002)
The Hunger Games (2012) (the first one)
The paper is to be thoughtfully assessed with relevance to the readings and ideas discussed in class
in regards to leadership.

plot and setting. What issues does it raise? What do you see as the main purpose of
the film? What are the major theme(s) of the film?
? Describe the observed leadership process as it relates the film to class discussions,
readings, notes or knowledge. Does it contradict or support anything you have
learned? This is the main focus of the paper.
