I. Discuss how the original title A Matter of Life and Death fits the film and then how the US title Stairway to Heaven fits the film.
II. Then in about 8 pages [regular margins, double-spaced, pages numbered] write an analysis of the film which addresses the following questions:
1. How is death represented in the film?
2. What kind of judgment is represented in the film?
3. How does this film echo ideas of heaven, hell, and judgment which weve considered in the course? And how does it reshape or differ from these texts and images?
Compare several specific texts and several specific images. Touch directly on Inanna, the Egyptian Feather of Maat, Revelation, The Odyssey, Last Judgments, Dante, Miltons Paradise Lost and Blakes The Marriage of Heaven & Hell among your choices.
Devote at least one page to comparing & contrasting the film to the Milton and Blake texts.
