Holiday gift

I'm not posting a blog response for Mildred Pierce until after break. Focus on reading the feminist article I gave you and enjoy the rest of your vacation. I'll see you Tuesday.

Blog Response--The Bride of Frankenstein

Joseph Lanza, in his essay, states:

"While demystifying the horror, Whale does, however, manage to weave more subversion into this Hays-era production than in any of his other films. The slant on sacrilege (already present in Frankenstein) is here augmented ad absurdum."

Think cinematically about this quote and discuss in at least 2 well-developed paragraphs. I'd like you to use at least one quote from the essays I gave you (your choice), mention any sociocultural influences, and  discuss CINEMATICALLY. This means using your vocabulary and telling me what is on the screen and what the director is trying to imply to the viewer.

Take your time and have fun with this one.

Blog Response--Project Production

In at least 2 articulate, detailed paragraphs, please reflect on your work in your team for the production of your project. What did you do? What worked? What didn't? What was easiest for you? What was most difficult? What did you learn? Remember, this is the place to document and reflect upon your contributions to your project and get ideas from others. Feel free to respond to others and to ask questions.

Due: Monday, December 12
