Do not write a summary of the film or a simple reaction to the film. The goal is to analyze by integrating assigned reading (especially from the homework reading and Crash Course #4 link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHrmiy4W9C0) with themes of the film – love, memory, the brain. You must read the selected sections of Chapters 4, 8 & 14 before writing your essay. Also, which of the five major psychological perspectives are represented in the film? Give specific examples. Consider characters’ (Rand, Sara, Johnson, Winston, Koy Koy, Rand’s father) differing points of view. The perspectives are introduced in Invitation to Psychology (6th edition) Ch. 1 – Psychodynamic, biological, learning, cognitive and sociocultural.
