Question

1. Unlike Classical Hollywood Cinema, Jean Renoir's 1939 film "The Rules of the Game" does not have a traditional single protagonist for the audience to focus on. Describe, using specific and detailed examples from the film, how Renoir replaces the "Classical Hollywood focus on a particular individual." How does this change the audience's connection to the film? Provide an approximate time stamp from the film.

2. Remember, films are a reflection of the time and place they were made. Besides being an exterior sequence, how else is the hunting scene different than the rest of the film? What is the symbolic meaning of the hunting scene (think historical context)? What was Renoir saying about France in 1939 BEFORE the Germans invaded the country in the hunting scene? Provide an approximate time stamp from the film.

3. This film is considered a prime example of Poetic Realism. Clearly identify one specific element of Poetic Realism, and describe, in detail, a scene where this element is shown in the film. Provide an approximate time stamp from the film.
