For EACH of these two films, compare and analyze them using the following format.  You should reference the textbook reading at least once for each log in #1, 2, or 4.  

In a couple sentences, why are these movies important to discuss in a women studies course on women in the movies? What does this movie say about how society views women, gender, race, class, ability, size, sexual identity, age?
Describe 2-3 details from each film that connect to class concepts. (DO NOT write a synopsis or summary of the film.) These should be details that stand out in the context of the topics you have read about, interesting aspects of filming, captivating character moments, etc. Spend at least one full paragraph on these details (only 1 paragraph total not 1 for each detail/film).
How did you respond to these films? Why? (This is where you get to say, “I loved it.” “I hated it.” “I cried.” Just don’t forget to say why!) How has your viewing changed since being in this class? 1-2 sentences.
What techniques do the writer/director/actors/cinematographer/editor/etc use that are unique or striking in this film? How did this affect gender (or race/class/ability/size/sexual identity/age/etc.) How could you use these techniques in your own filmmaking work? (Imagine!)
