Movie Analysis
Section I: Introduction Identify movie. Give a brief description of plot and describe main characters. Section II: Analysis Choose twenty concepts that are demonstrated in the movie. Define each concept in your own words. Provide a detailed explanation of how each concept is illustrated. Use this listing format: 1. concept: a-definition… b-illustration… 2. concept: a-definition… . b-illustration… . . 20. concept a-definition b-illustration (For example: If you were to watch Disney’s classic film, Sleeping Beauty, a concept that can be observed is “ascribed status”. Definition: Ascribed status is a position that one occupies within the social structure that one has little or no control over, often assigned at birth. Illustration: The Prince was born into the royal family and had no control over which family he was born into.) Section III: Reflection Discuss the relevance of this exercise as it relates to “thinking sociologically”. Does the movie appear different when viewed this way?
