Questions:

1. How did you watch the movies? Where did you find them? What streaming service? Did you watch them with ads? Did you watch them in a fairly distraction free environment? Did you watch them on your phone? Laptop? Big screen tv? Did you watch them straight through? Or did you pause a few times?

2. What expectations did you have going into the viewing experience? Had you heard of these movies? Watched them before? Were you at all familiar with the directors and/or actors? What other movies did you expect these movies to be like?

3. What ideas or concepts from this week's reading did you find most interesting? Explain one or two of these examples. What connections can you make between the reading and your previous interactions with movies, stories, or even life experiences?

4. What connections can you make between the reading and the movies? Did the movies use any of the concepts or key terms? Describe how specific scenes and moments from the movies do or do not illustrate these concepts and key terms. Be sure to refer to both assigned movies (unless there's only one for this week).

5. What are your original thoughts about these movies? What did you find most interesting? Did you have strong emotional reactions to certain parts? Did you feel connections to specific characters? Consider why these movies impacted (or failed to impact) you in the way they did.

6. Finally, if there were two movies assigned, which one you think should remain in future courses. Why?
