Answer questions 1 and 2. I provided you with the information needed. The first one is about me and the second you need to watch a movie “Tangerine” and review the notes prior to answering questions 2. 1. A brief introduction to yourself. Please tell the class your name (or preferred nickname), your major and/or area of interest, where you will be studying from this semester, and your favorite (or least favorite) LGBTQIA+ character from a film or tv show. My name is Jan Brown and my area of interest is Science. I will be studying online this semester. My favorite LGBTQIA character is Ellen DeGeneres from the Ellen show. 2. A response to this week’s film screening “Tangerine” and Ryan’s lecture. Your response must address questions posed at the end of Lecture 1 and/or take the following into consideration: Sean Baker, the director of “Tangerine”, is a white, cis-gender, heterosexual man. Considering that the primary characters represented in the film are transgender women of color, does this information about the director matter? Does this change your perspective on the film? How/Why? Knowing this, do you still consider “Tangerine” to be a Queer film? Explain why or why not. Responses should be thoughtful, substantial, and demonstrate that you have thoroughly engaged with the course materials (reading, lecture, film).
