Gandhi Film Enrichment

For this unit, you have the option of watching the film [|Gandhi.]


 * You must first attend the mandatory viewing of the first hour of the film on Wednesday, next week**, during office hours. That's Weds 2/10! After that you can finish the film on your own.

After viewing the film, hopefully with your parents and/or a few other friends, you must write a typed, one-page reflection that touches on the following points:

1. Specific story of the film and its connection to historical events we've studied in class. Be sure to discuss how historical events/issues are portrayed and what point you think the director/writer is trying to make. e.g.: How does this film depict specific historic events (Amritsar Massacre, Salt March, etc)? What points are made about Gandhi, as well as the topic of imperialism. 2. Your critical analysis of the quality of the film (storyline, acting, historical accuracy, etc.).

The second part is your opinion supported by evidence. Look at many of the examples in Spielvogel for examples on how to do the first part. Read a film review in the paper for an example on how to do the latter half.

Due on Tuesday, February 16.
