solved Choose any film screened in class ( Â The Grand

Choose any film screened in class (  The Grand Illusion , Rules of the Game , (Jean Renoir, 1939), His Girl Friday ,  The Public Enemy, Queen Christina , Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Midnight Ramble(Cram/Bowser, 1994) , Rebirth of a Nation  (DJ Spooky, 2007), The Jazz Singer (Alan Crosland, 1927) ) Compare this film with an appropriate contemporary film or television episode of your choice (1990s-present).
The basis, or starting point, of your comparison should revolve around similar plot, characters, genre, or themes between the two films.  You should explain these similarities in your introduction.
But the most important dimension of your paper is historical context and significance.  Explain in your introduction the historical importance of the film from class; then, throughout your comparison with the contemporary film/episode, emphasize this historical significance.  Clarify in each section of your paper the important qualities of the historical class film, and how they are similar to, and/or different from, the contemporary film/episode.  Use specific details from both films to develop each section of your paper.  In your conclusion, suggest what you think the historical significance of the contemporary film/episode is (or will be), as well as your own personal evaluation of both films.
Thus, the basic structure of your essay should be something like:

Introduction:
a) historical significance of film from class;
b) “starting point” similarities – why you are comparing the two films;
c) thesis: state your argument or “angle” about the two films; your thesis should also suggest the sections of the paper.
Describe the plot and characters of both films (one brief paragraph for each film)
Compare historical context and themes (similar/different) in two scenes (one from each film)
Compare each film’s style
Conclusion:
a) evaluation of both films (strengths and weaknesses)
b) historical significance of contemporary film/episode: what does the contemporary film reflect about society? Does it possess any new or unique stylistic techniques?  How does it fit into the current film and media scene?
