From the films, pick one film from the western tradition and one from the eastern tradition and write a compare/contrast analysis.
You are not required to use any outside sources. I am interested in your ideas. Try to have an original take on the films your choose to write about.
Please watch each film at least one more time before choosing your topic.
(Western films)
Pinocchio
Fantastic Mr. Fox
(Eastern films)
Spirited Away
Parasite
For your essay, you will select two or more elements of the film to compare and contrast. Some elements to choose from are:
-themes (love, death, friendship, violence, time, etc)
-character development (how characters develop or grow in each type of film)
-pacing (time—does it feel different in each? why?)
-style of filmmaking (cinematography—how are the films shot? )
-music
-costume
-genre
