: 1. What is the true subject or theme of the film, and what kind of statement, if any, does the film make about the subject? Which elements and which scenes contribute most to addressing the theme of the film?
2. How do all of the separate elements of the film relate to and contribute to the theme, central purpose, or total effect? Film Elements: a. Narrative — The manner in which the story is told. What
is the plot structure? Is it chronological or non-linear? Are there flashbacks or other narrative devices and why are they used? b. Acting — the qualities of the performances. Is the acting
realistic or is it mannered? Are the characters dynamic (do they change as the film progresses)? How?
