Unit 3 - Part 1 discussion

Thread: Crimes and Misdemeanors, Part One

Before participating in this discussion board, please make sure you've re-watched the first third (to 0:36:40) of Crimes and Misdemeanors while taking detailed notes. In addition, you will want to remind yourself of our discussion board standards by reviewing the  discussion board rubric    download. 

Here's what I want you to do in your initial post: In at least a full paragraph (minimum five sentences), explain briefly what you think is interesting, important, and meaningful.  Do not generalize--Provide specific references to the film beyond plot: what do you see? what do you hear? You don't have to have all of the answers, but you want to provide the basis for further discussion.

Again: consult your notes. You may post more than once if you'd like to engage more than one topic in detail. I do not want a review (an evaluation of whether or not you like the movie): I want you to contribute specific observations that we can use to begin to understand how this film works to construct meaning.

Make sure your initial post is up by the listed due date.

Then, after you've posted, you'll be able to see your classmates' posts.  Respond to two of them--talk about, in at least three sentences, whether you see what they see in the film.  Where are your interpretations similar?  Different?  

Responses need to be submitted by the following due date.

And, finally, it should go without saying that we a required to be respectful and courteous at all times.
