GUIDELINES FOR WRITING FILM RESPONSE PAPER (1) The point of any good movie is not the action, but the message. Hence, do not just summarize the film. If there is no analysis involved, then you have not responded, only regurgitated. If the movie is based on true events, you should evaluate the level of analogy and either justify or criticize any differences the movie exhibits with respect to the original story it is based on. (II) Do not try to be a film critic. Do not worry about the actors’ performances (except insofar as they might be relevant in evaluating the film’s success in making its point) or the subtleties of direction and editing. Your target is a particular theme, not filmmaking. (III) Your first paragraph should be an introduction to your topic—that is, the issue or issues on which you are going to focus. It should be a brief paragraph—maybe four or five sentences. Be sure to say which aspect of the movie, specifically, will be discussed in the paper. If you want to emphasize and discuss issues that are secondary in the movie, still try to mention the movie’s central theme or themes. (IV) The main body of your essay should be the exploration of your theme or themes, using characters, scenes, symbols, and situations in the movie to show how the movie supports or contradicts your understanding of a particular topic. It should be composed of two-three distinct paragraphs – each of them discussing your impressions and thoughts as related to the film in question. (V) Pay close attention to basics like grammar and punctuation. Proofread your essay. (VI) Your conclusion should contain a short summary of all points comprised in your argumentation.

Your essay will be graded according to the following criteria: # It should be no more than 1 single-spaced page. You must use and cite at least two assigned sources (electronic sources are off limits), including your main reading. Use the designated form of parenthetical citation (I-34), but provide full bibliography on the backside of your paper. # Thesis (20% of the total grade): the essay must have a clear and sharply focused thesis (underline it), which offers your opinion and serious insight into the topic. # Analysis (40% of the total): you should analyze (rather than narrate) the topic and support your arguments with specific examples. # Organization, grammar, and sentence structure (40% of the total): the essay should be well organized, written in a clear and concise manner, and free of misspellings, verbosity, etc. If the reader has difficulty comprehending your arguments, your way of communicating is inadequate.

Film response paper sample Film response paper sample Battle of Neretva is a 1969 Yugoslav partisan film. The film was directed by Veljko Bulajić and depicts a massive Axis offensive against the Yugoslav Partisans in 1943 (known as the “Fourth Enemy Offensive” in the Yugoslav official historiography) and occurred in the area of the Neretva-River in Bosnia- Herzegovina (I/ ). The film is based on the true events of World War II, but conveys the impression that the Partisans enjoyed mass popular support. In reality, the bulk of the population in wartime Yugoslavia held no rigid political loyalties. Instead, most people tried to survive as best they could and their allegiances shifted according to the situation. For example, the Chetniks, who are portrayed as the zealous allies of the Germans, were not a single unified force, but initially fought alongside the Partisans and then switched sides to fight the communist movement (I/45-51). Bosnia-Herzegovina especially represented a contentious mix of political ideologies, ethnicities, and religious beliefs – including nationalism and communism, and Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Muslim denominations – and consequently, the war there was particularly cruel (II/13-18). The film crafts a fascinating narrative of rival radical affiliations and ideologies, particularly between the multinational vision of the Communist Partisans versus the xenophobic nationalism of the Serbian Chetniks and the Croatian Ustaše. Although the film emphasizes the struggle between the Partisans and the Axis powers, Bulajić stresses its local dimension – the conflict between the citizens of the former Yugoslavia. As Commissar Stole says “hatred between brothers is the most vicious.’”

In my opinion, the film correctly shows that the Partisans fought for much more than mere survival – Tito envisioned the war as a revolutionary struggle, which would eventually turn Yugoslavia into a communist state (II/64-68). Although most Serbs initially joined the Partisans to survive the Ustaše genocide, the Partisan leadership from the beginning emphasized the importance of social revolution that would change the country’s political and socio-economic landscape. In other words, the unique conditions of the Axis occupation and the bitter ethnic and ideological conflicts engendered the revolutionary movement united in its primary objectives (I-207). To sum up, the Partisans never viewed the armed struggle against the Axis powers from a purely military prospective, but were determined to transform it into a political battle to create a “genuinely multinational socialist society.” This fact alone helps explain why the Partisans were much better organized than the Chetniks, particularly in creating the so- called “free zones” – the Neretva basin was but one – in which they set up the small replicas of revolutionary society, later superimposed upon the entire Yugoslavia (II ).

HOW TO WRITE A RESPONSE PAPER (1 typed, single-spaced page)   A response paper is your chance to communicate in writing your personal viewpoint and personal learning as they relate specifically to the book, essay, article, film, etc. The text or the artifact alone, has no meaning; it is given meaning by you, the writer. In other words, a response paper is your own interpretation of a given source and should demonstrate how deeply you have thought about the concepts, values, and attitudes of the period or historical episode in question. When analyzing the source, keep in mind that its author tries to make a point, to promote an idea, a set of beliefs or values. Hence, you should concentrate upon two objectives:   1. Telling what you think these ideas are.     2. Reflecting on these points, positions, and values and indicating whether they correspond with your understanding of the historical event or episode in question.   Important Note: Essay organization, style, and grammar are a crucial part of the assignment and will be graded accordingly.
