15. Reflection (70 points) (500 words):  Write your thoughts on how this film relates to the themes and issues addressed in the course, making reference to relevant readings and concepts.  Briefly evaluate the film using a mixture of personal opinion, specific quotes and content of the film, supported by scholarly works (including reviews, course readings and notes). Make sure you do not repeat any of the information you have used in answering your 'Synopsis' question.  Remember if you have quoted directly or paraphrased from other reviews or scholarly writing include a list of references using the Harvard style. I am expecting most students to use two or three references.
