Thematic Analysis of the Film, Casablanca
hi there , this is not what i want. i want you talk about how the theme impacts your own life. you can talk about one theme. and i gave you some example down there. i do want you to talk about the movie.
For instance, you might use one of these sentences to begin your reflections:
–“One of the themes in this film that really struck me was X, because…”
–“I could identify with the theme of X because …”
–“I admire character X because …”
–“If I were character X, I would have acted differently in this way …
–“Character X showed the kind of negative traits that have impacted my life in these ways…”
And also you do not need to have a References because you are writing about how the theme impacts your own life.
when you reflect on these films, you should always be reflect on three questions that are applicable to all of the films.These questions are:
1) What is a key theme of this film?(Note:many films have multiple themes.)
2) What changes took place in the lives of the main characters, and what caused these changes?
3) To what extent does each of these films show a quest for something to believe in on the part of one or more main characters?In what do they end up believing?
Write a 1-2 page reflection paper on one of the themes. The papers will focus on how the theme impacts your own life, and it is not to be just vague musings on the theme in general. Apply it to your life!
