Film: The Godfather
Take a critical stance and offer your honest perspective on the film, but back it up with an argument and explanation. Remember a review is not a retelling or summary of the plot. A film review offers a unique and original interpretation of the movie.
Put the film in context with the historical period it was created in. What genre is it in? Who made it (director, studio, actors, cinematographers, etc.)? What was going on in American history at this point? What was it influenced by? What did this film influence?
Why is it important to see this film today, in 2024? How should we understand it today?
Reviews must be: 3 pages, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins.
Cite your sources in the text with either footnotes, endnotes, or in parenthesis in proper MLA, Chicago, or Harvard Citations. Include a bibliography on a separate page.
Review the Grading Rubric as grammar and organization will be considered in the grade.
