Critical Analysis of a Film Review
Please follow along with The PDF I sent you. In the could box professor has put the below remarks respectively
1. work on developing engaging , specific, title that hint your specific argument.
2. news paper/ website title should be italicized
3. Film tittle are in italic note quoted
4. you should probably mentioned the critic’s name here, that’s whose work you are analyzing
5. POV: stay in 3rd person of view exclusively informal academic writing. “ This is logical since.” is it all that logical however? consider if the documentary did not present Ali in a positive light or was horribly made with just old interviews portly edited together.
6. He was also loved for his ring personality, way with words, and important cultural role so “purely” might not really work here
7. EXPL. Expletive (see pg662 in SMH
8. You need to include a thesis that clearly sets up your overall argument about the quality of the reviewers stylistic and rhetorical strategies. Keep in mind this essay is not really about the film at all the film is largely irrelevant. Instead, you are analyzing the writing skills of film reviewer
9. what does any of this paragraph have to do with the review? (and professor has highlighted the whole 2nd paragraph)
10. What claims> You haven’t summarized or quoted any of the critics’ words yet. (and professor has the 3rd paragraph)
11. keep the focus on the review , not the movie
12. Give specific example- use direct quotation
13. expletive see pg 662 in SMH
14. again provide specific example from the review as evidence
15. perhaps a bit out of context. was this source commenting on this review specifically as the citation implies or about the power of metaphors in general?
16. Use the works cited here as a header instead of reference
