Movies – 7.5 points each
Watch any of the following movies and write a 350 word account of the
historical issues explored in the movie (especially as they relate to topics
covered in class). Be sure to include in your opinion on how well the movie
addresses the issues and offer suggestions about what might have been done
better. The exceptions to the 350 word count are the last two selections on
the list which require a longer word count (625) because the films are much
longer than a regular one. (Include the word count at the end of your paper.)
