PAPER ASSIGNMENT -- ASIAN FILM DIRECTORS

The Asian film that I choose POLICE STORY (Peter Medak, Jackie Chan, 1985). This paper is more informal, and needs to have at least one source, which can include material from class. 

Due in class on Friday, November 3rd. The first paper should be around 4 pages or 1,000 words long. This is a class on film directors, so as a student here you need to be able to learn to analyze directorial styles and themes, favorite genres, or favorite preoccupations of the director. In each of these papers, you will discuss an Asian film (one not screened fully in class, something we have shown clips of is OK) For the first paper, I would like you can either look at the film you choose in terms primarily in terms of how it might fit into that’ director’s themes, styles, and preoccupations.
