Film: Green border 2023

The film reaction should be about two pages long (about 500-600 words). The primary issues you should address in a film reaction are:

1) What is the film about, and why do you think the filmmaker made the film? What issue or issues was the filmmaker trying to address?

2) Why do you think the filmmaker chose the form he or she did to make the film? If the film is a fiction film, why did the filmmaker choose fiction? If the film is a documentary, why did the filmmaker choose to make a documentary?

3) How does the filmmaker try to address particular issues in the film, i.e. what formal choices does the filmmaker make?

In the case of fiction films you can think here about plot, character development, dialog, empathy (i.e. whether or not viewers are invited to empathize with particular characters or not), editing, camera shots, lighting, angles, etc. The key question is why you think the film was made and how the filmmaker is trying to intervene in a particular debate or discussion.
