Las Vegasfools Rush Inforest Summary Of A Movie

Your paper MUST be submitted in Microsoft Word format (.doc

or .docx) – no other formats will be accepted – that means NO

Word Perfect (.wps) or Rich Text (.rtf).

Your file MUST be saved using your LAST name: smith.doc or

jones.docx for example – do NOT use any other name for your file

(like the name of the movie)

**IMPORTANT**:

You

must

consult the

Excluded Movie list

found in the Extra Credit module

BEFORE starting your paper. I reserve the

right to add to this list at any time so it’s always best to check with me

before proceeding with this assignment. If you use a film off this list you

are automatically disqualified and score NO points.

NO EXCEPTIONS!

I don’t care if you’ve written the paper and submitted it using a movie

on the list – do

NOT use a film off of the Excluded Movie list!

Think geographically about what you have seen in your movie.

Spend NO more than a couple sentences summarizing the movie. I will

deduct points if you exceed that limit. You should then

develop the geographic themes

that the movie uses as part of the story. This

might include particular spatial interactions between characters and

places and/or people – or how geographies are created within your

movie. How are the various geographies in the text reflected in the

landscapes depicted? How do these geographies help create suspense

or amusement or spectacle? Discuss the possible motivations the

producers had for choosing the settings that were used in the movie.

Support your general arguments with specific examples from the movie.

How do space and place help the movie make its point? How does the

movie reinforce or contest the formation of the mental maps we use to

navigate the real geographies of the United States?
