AGING IN MOVIES REVIEW
There is a plethora of films out there depicting various dimensions of the aging process. Despite the belly-laughing, or sometimes, tear-jerking emotions we gather from these films, we often do not stop to wonder if these depictions of various dimensions of aging are accurate…or a bunch of malarky (i.e., nonsense). For this assignment, you are tasked with watching a film, not a TV
show, of your choice that depicts any aspect of aging that has been discussed in our class. After watching the film, answer the questions below.
Movie title:
Give your review a title. It can be as funny or as serious as you would like.
_________________________________________________________
1. Give a brief summary of what the movie is about. (no more than 4 sentences)
2. Who is/are the main character(s) in the film that you will be discussing? (no more than 2 sentences)
3. What class topic does the movie depict? How? (no more than 4 sentences)

4. Based on what you have learned thus far in the course, do you feel that this film provides an accurate depiction of aging and/or the various aspects of aging? (i.e., mental/physical health, relationships, challenges, disease, wisdom, personality, etc.) Why or why not? Include at least 2 scholarly citations to support your answer. (no more than 7 sentences)
5. In what ways do you believe that this film could improve to provide a more accurate depiction of this dimension of aging? (no more than 7 sentences)
6. All movies teach a lesson (theme/moral). What did you learn from this one? (no more than 4 sentences)
Please erase the information below when submitting your worksheet.
Wait, but how are we getting graded? Good question. I am grading your midterm similar to how I grade your “3-2-1” Post & Reply. I am looking to see that you have followed the sentence length requirements, evidenced that you have proofread your work (i.e., made little to no grammatical/spelling errors), and that your responses are well-thought out (see examples of well-thought/poorly thought-out answers on the syllabus). One aspect that I am going to pay specific attention to is correct citation of scholarly articles on #4. See the Helpful Resources
