Film paper

The length of the paper should be four to five pages, using double-space type. The paper should be divided into different sections, each addressing question 1, question 2, etc, and the question being addressed needs to be written out before it is addressed. This is because I need to be clear which question is being addressed. Be sure that your online submission has a cover page (which doesnt count as a page number) that states the name of the film you are discussing, your name, your email, the date, and the title Film Discussion Paper for AMST-3100 on the cover. Choose one of the following three movies from the 1960s, watch the movie, and address the set of questions for that movie in your paper. Of course you will need to rent, purchase, stream, or check the movie out from a library. These movies should be readily available. While you may discuss these movies all you like, your paper must reflect your own ideas and your own writing. Students may not team up to write this film paper. I am also providing a link to a film analysis site that offers an excellent analysis of each of these movies to help get you into the analytical mode. The grading criteria for your paper is as follows: writing style and clarity. substantive insights to the 1960s and critical thinking skills. application of our textbooks, web notes, and outside resources to your points. Dr. Strangelove (1964) Film analysis link: Film Discussion Questions. 1. Dr. Strangelove is a dark satire made at a time when there was a very real possibility of nuclear annihilation. Who or what was parodied in this movie? (Identify as many issues or themes as you can, and much of this parody involves Cold War leaders, and assumptions, policies, etc). 2. Identify specific real events of the 1950s and early 1960s that are important backdrops to understanding Dr. Strangelove. Remember, this movie features the Cold War as the central backdrop. What are the important events that happened in the 1950s and early 60s that are relevant to this movie? 3. Before Dr. Strangelove, the public was given the notion that the two superpowers had achieved Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), and therefore it would be irrational for either side to initiate war. Presumably we should feel somewhat secure with this notion. How does the movie Dr. Strangelove respond to the argument that nuclear war is unlikely because it is irrational? (Hint: How are the leaders depicted in this movie? Are they rational? What does this say about the assumptions behind MAD?) 4. What does this movie suggest happens to a society when its members are placed in a constant state of apocalyptic fear, such as the case of fear culture or panic culture that we saw during the Cold War in the 1950s and early 60s, air raid shelters and all? Does such fear cause people to behave differently? What kinds of social and foreign policies are people likely to lean toward in a panic culture? Who benefits from this, and who loses? (For example, why were hawkish conservatives like Joseph McCarthy and the HUAC promoting fear culture in the 1950s? What did they and the military industrial complexes of the US and the USSR have to gain by promoting such fears? How did hawkish conservatives portray reform liberals like Martin Luther King, Jr and others who sought domestic reforms? Was there a hidden agenda here?)
