Film Analysis ? Essay Project #1
Your assignment is to write a 3 – 5 page analysis of one of the films listed below. The goal of this essay is
NOT to review a movie, but to give detailed and systematic analysis of the central philosophical issues
raised in the film you’ve selected. Each film contains metaphysical (mind, free-will, personal identity) and
epistemological (skepticism) issues that can provide a good basis for analysis.
Films for Analysis:
Inception
A.I.
Minority Report
Truman Show
Memento
Ex Machina
For this essay, there are no alternatives other than those listed above.
Suggestions:
1. Watch one of the film. It would be helpful to watch it once through to grasp the plot. Subsequent
viewings can and should involve note-taking.
2. Look for an angle. Try developing a thesis statement involving a movie character (E.g., ?the
protagonist X believed he had contact with the real world, when in fact at no point does he have
certainty regarding any of her perceptions)
3. The analysis must include sources apart from the class text. 2-3 should be sufficient, but they
must be substantive. In other word, NO ?QUOTE-JACKING? (lifting one sentence out a piece
just to say you used a source, while providing no substantive analysis or rendering its presence
meaningless in light of what you have written). See blackboard for appropriate sources.
Wikipedia, blogs, and other non-professional sources are not considered legitimate.
4. Standard rules for essay writing apply. The essay should be a clearly written and well-developed.
It should include a brief introduction, a thesis statement, a ?body? that develops the main points
as reflected in the thesis statement, and a conclusion that summarizes the main points.
The paper should be formatted using the following parameters:
Font:
Margins:
Spacing:
Bibliography:
12 pt times (new) roman
One (1) inch
Double
Only if non-class sources are used. Otherwise, cite class sources in text.
