Invention Activities by Richard Kluz
Listing Subjects:
Culture- Movies that I had in mind: Donnie Darko, Equlibrium, Gone is Sixty Seconds, Clockwork Orange, Gladiator, Snatch, The Football Factory, American History X or Greenstreet Hooligans.
Choosing a subject: I will be doing one of the movies listed above. All the movies listed, I am very familiar with and will most definitely provide an effective critical review.
Knowledge on topic: I am interested in these movies because they are all great and have many different characteristics within them that could make a great review and pull people to watch these movies for themselves. When it comes to movies, I love to praise and criticize and in all of these movies I could find some flaw but also some great aspects.
Familiarizing yourself with the topic: I am quite familiar with these movies because I have watched all of them, at least twice and have them all so in case I am unclear about something I can always look back.
Identifying and Understanding readers: Since I will be writing a film review, I hope that my readers will take the time to actually view the film and make arguments for it also. If they haven’t seen the film I will be doing then I suggest they do.
Standards on judging topic: The movies that are listed are among my favorites. I will be writing the review to get others’ opinions on the movie and see if anyone has counter-reviews.
Reasons: The movies that are listed, I am very familiar with and can provide an argument for any scene in the movie so I believe that I will be able to provide a great review.
How my thesis statement will be comprised: Depending on the movie, I will formulate my thesis based on a specific scene that shows suspense and grabs the viewer to see the film.
Post: I have decided that for Unit 3 I will be doing a Critical review of a movie. I have a list of movies that I have chosen and at this point I have narrowed most of them down to a few selected winners. Since the movie i will be doing is one of my favorites I will be most likely praising it, however no movie is perfect and I will find flaw in which ever one I do. My purpose actually is to get people to see the movie, provide their own arguments for it and see what they basically have to say. I hope everyone enjoys it and gives both positive and negative feedback so I can see what is my strong point in writing and also where I have to work on.
