Purpose:

Hopefully you can understand psychology is a “hub” for a variety of disciplines. For your paper, you are to connect what you have learned from this class and apply it to film.

Films:

Choose one of the following Netflix films to analyze:

  • The Grinch (2018) Animated Cartoon
  • Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018)
  • Dallas Byers Club (2013)
  • The Irishman (2019)

  • Everybody Knows (2019) – Spanish Film, can be viewed using English CC.
  • A Secret Love (2020) Documentary

*Some films may have some violent/sex scenes. Please review the film before watching. If you the film is not for you, then please choose another*

Instructions:

After viewing your chosen film, you are to analyze the film through a psychological lens. You may use any perspective, concept, or theory we have examined this semester. For example, you could easily discuss social psychological (stereotypes, discrimination, prejudice) concepts in Dallas Byers Club (2013). You could discuss defense mechanisms in Her (2013). You can discuss self-esteem and self-comparison, or stages of human development in The Grinch (2018). You may simply choose a character in the film and complete a character analysis. You may also do the same analysis for a scene. Again, you decide. You have the freedom to construct this analysis as you like.

To make your analysis stronger, you are to find scholarly research articles that will reinforce what you are writing. You need to make sure you cite as appropriate. You may utilize your online textbook, online journal articles, or any other type of credible sources as your reference.
