To change up my paper in an attempt towards making it more interesting for me, I decided to write my paper on a film that I’ve never seen. I will write what I think it will be like, and then when I’m done, I’ll say what my general thoughts are and what other people think of it as well.

After just finishing the movie, there are questions I need to ask myself. Does it do what it intends to do? Will I want to see it again? Can it be used as a benchmark to
