Movies are simply an extension of real life (in someone’s mind). No matter what the genre, there is a representative depiction of a social, environmental, psychological, or emotional situation. As you choose a movie to discuss, don’t simply provide a ‘movie review’. Rather, answer questions like:
- What is the issue and in what way was it expressed?
- How did the issue evolve (i.e., where did it start and what caused it)
- In what way did the issue manifest itself (who was involved, what was the interaction, etc.)
These are only suggestions. You do not have to use any of the questions mentioned.
Choose any movie that you like other than A Beautiful Mind to offer a psychological perspective. Your paper should be at least 2 pages in length, double spaced, with MLA or APA formatting, and with the use of Arial or Times New Roman 12 point font. The structure is to write a paragraph about the psychological issue, a paragraph with an analysis of the issue (using any of the theories from the last 8 chapters of the text), and a final paragraph providing a personal example of something that you have experienced similarly to the issue you discuss in this assignment.
