Trying to pick a movie to write a paper on
    #8187159 - 03/24/08 12:59 PM (16 years, 8 days ago)

So i got this paper i need to write on a movie where two different cultures communicate and interact and find a few articles on the movie and write a reaction to them. Right now i'm trying to decide between Trading Places and American History X. I know that American History X i could write a really good paper on but i'm sure my professor has already read a thousand and one papers on it. Trading places would be an awesome comedy i could write about because I don't think too many people write about comedies for this type of assignment and it would be different and interesting because of the tone and mood a comedy sets. If anyone has some other suggestions let me know otherwise let me know which one you would pick. Thanks for the help in advance. Peace

motorcycle diaries. it's the true story of che guevarras travels before he became a revolutionary and how he was affected by the injustices of the world toward native peoples. another would be bury my heart at wounded knee or any other sioux war book. ishi too. you'll get more respect from your teacher by writing about these subjects too unless he wants you to write about a fictional story.

I'd go with the Star Trek episode Darmok. I had to write an anthro paper on the same subject for that episode.

93
What you are going to do(yes, that is an order) is write a paper on the movie Easy Rider. You will be writing about how it is a microcosm of the counterculture movement of the 60's, and how it portrays exactly why that movement failed in it's original intent. You will also discover the real, suppressed message of that movement and how realization and practice of it can lead to the liberation of the individual and transcendence of the limitations of humanity.

personally I would go with Lost in Translation.

the last samurai has the same message about the erosion of eastern culture.
13 conversations about one thing would be a good movie too.

but you should do Blood Sport.... FTW!

The Jacket.With Adrien Brody and Kiera Knightly or whatever her name is. Its the one where the guy dies and the doc puts him in the jacket and shoots him up with drugs and puts him in teh morgue drawer and he has to solve his own death while in trance. Good movie and a good one to write a paper on because nobody else will. Also its suspensful and has a great original plot.

They all look around at each other and laugh. Then one asks me. Hey wait, isnt he dead? Well yeah he is I said. Then I drive like Junior I mumble, while I promptly slow down.

The ten commandments.

You've got jews, an apocalypse, and even god. What it's even more cool is that it's all based on true events.

Sure to impress the teach. :awesome:

In my suggestion I was thinking of sanity and insanity as cultures but I guess there not really. So how about Dances with Wolves.
