Response Paper 2
length: 500-700 words
style: MLA (be certain you cite any sources you use)
film: Memento
due: by midnight, Tuesday 26 February
Choose one of the following questions and answer it using
specific details and observations of the movie’s formal
composition. You do not need an introduction or a conclusion
(this is a very short paper), but you should have a clearly
identifiable thesis, which makes a claim about the way the
film’s meaning is conveyed through its form.
--
~What is one object (prop) that is important to the film? How
do characters interact with it, and how is it relevant to the plot
or story? How is its significance communicated in the way that
it is filmed? How is it a part of the film’s meaning, in terms of
its interest in broad themes like violence, revenge, tragedy,
grief, belief, stories, history, disability, the nature of the self,
the nature of relationships, etc?
~What is one setting that is important to the film? How do
characters move through this setting or talk about it in ways
that show its role in the movie? How is it dressed, lit, and
filmed to convey its significance to both the story and the
themes listed above?
~What is one place where a specific piece of language is
important to this movie? What is the importance of this piece of
language, and does it occur visually, as dialogue, as voice-over
or voice-off, as non-diegetic language, etc.? How does this
language contribute to the film’s representation of the themes
listed above?
nb: I’ll leave Memento on reserve at the library; it’s also
available in iterations of variable, but mostly low, quality on
YouTube. I definitely don’t recommend you rely on these
YouTube versions, but you can use them to remind yourself of
plot details or dialogue if necessary.
**To get full credit for this assignment, continue to analyze and
write specifically: identify specific details and describe what
the effect of those specific details have, distinct from what
other elements of the movie does: how they contribute to the
effectiveness of the scene, why you believe the director made
these particular choices.**
