First, WATCH THE FILM (The Ides of March (2011)!
(Can be watched on fuboTV, Amazon Prime, STARZ, Vudu, or Apple TV) (Let me know if you have any questions).
Based on what you saw in the film (not what you read about the director elsewhere), where would you place the director on the ideological spectrum? (radical? liberal? moderate? conservative? reactionary? somewhere in-between? more than one?).
Explain your arguments with evidence from the film and by relating the core values and characteristics of the ideological spectrum we
discussed in class.
Also, what is this film trying to say about politics? [Provide evidence from the film to support your argument.] How does that relate to specific topics we discussed in class?
Lastly, critique the film’s political message or the way the director delivered it, and offer specific suggestions on how he/she could have improved that message or its delivery in the film.
[Don’t include any summaries of the film’s plot – I’ve already seen it.
Instead, this paper is supposed to showcase your analyses of the film.]
All papers must be typed, double-spaced, in size 12 Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper - click “View--Header & Footer”). Points will be deducted for spelling & grammatical errors, papers less than 2 full pages (including playing tricks with
larger fonts and margins), and for deviations from the format described above.
