Write a 5-7 page (double spaced) essay answering one of the following 3 prompts:
1) Watch a Bollywood film at a local movie theater. With regard to both the film and the viewing experience (including the audience), make an argument about how the film experience expresses both Indian and global desires. AMC Theatres (especially Fashion Valley) are a great place to look for new Bollywood films. Additionally, you may consider the following films, which are available online:
Gully Boy (Zoya Akhtar, India) (Amazon Prime)
Kapoor & Sons (Shakun Batra, India) (for rent on Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, iTunes)
2) Watch a non-U.S. festival film in theaters and find reviews and program notes for it online. How does the writing express the contradictions of formula vs. freedom and national vs. universal discussed in the reading and lecture? Landmark Theatres, Digital Gym Cinema, and Cine Tonal (Tijuana) regularly screen international films that have played the international film festival circuit. Please contact the instructor if you have questions identifying eligible films. Additionally, you can consider the following films available online:
Atlantics (Mati Diop, Senegal/France) (Netflix)
Too Late to Die Young (Dominga Sotomayor, Chile) (for rent on Amazon, iTunes)
Shoplifters (Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan) (Hulu, and for rent on Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, iTunes)
Happy as Lazzaro (Alice Rohrwacher, Italy) (Netflix)
3) Watch a new Korean or Chinese blockbuster at a local movie theater. Make an argument about how the film expresses local, national, inter-Asian, and/or global characteristics (must choose at least two of the four). Note: because of the Coronavirus, new releases in Korea and China have dwindled, and that has affected their international releases as well. It may be harder to find films in theaters, but a place to start is AMC La Jolla. Additionally, you may consider the following films, which are available online:
1987: When the Day Comes (Jang Joon-hwan, South Korea) (for rent on Amazon, Google Play, YouTube)
A Taxi Driver (Jang Hoon, South Korea) (Hulu, and for rent on Amazon, Google Play, YouTube)
Miss Granny (Hwang Dong-hyuk, South Korea) (Amazon Prime, and for rent on iTunes, Google Play, YouTube)
The Wandering Earth (Frant Gwo, China) (Netflix)
Us and Them (Rene Liu, China) (Netflix)
Youth (Feng Xiaogang, China) (Amazon Prime)

Topics Discussed: race, species, paleoanthropology, evolution, early civilizations, etc.
As usual, please comment on two of your peers posts.
Reply to classmate 1:
I think for me, I had a complete misconception about the many different types of “species” and evolutionary changes it took to make the modern day humans as we are. When I think about evolution, I always only thought of some kind of monkey that warped in to a human in just a short amount of time. The consequences of this misconception I feel are a lack of respect for what our ancestors had to go through to bring us to this current day and time. A lot of the tools and concepts we have came from them and their struggles. I look at the knife cutting my steak now and think of it as a tool created such a long time ago by someone as a means to survive. Not just created by a scientist in a lab who was trying to think of a way to cut meat. So a lack of understanding and respect come with the misconception.
Reply to Classmate 2:
I think my own biggest misconception were regarding race. I remember during class assignment 2 how we had to listen to an hour-long audio about race and genetic makeup, and I learned about how race is truly just a social construct. How the instructor, who was white, made an example of one black male student being more genetically similar to another white female student than she and that white female student were. That was kind of surprising, because although I knew we all have majority of the same genetic makeup, I didn’t think of how it could intersect that way. This just goes to show how race itself isnt real, but the consequences of race have always been very real. I do believe there are broader consequences of this misconception, it kind of speaks for itself at this point. Racism is such a big problem in our country today, when in reality, race itself is only a social construct. I feel like if many people knew and understood that, then there probably wouldn’t be that many race-centered issues today.
