Film Review

I’m stuck on a Film question and need an explanation.

Please choose one film from the list below to watch and review. The films connect to our topics in Module 3: 1) Travel and tourism, 2) Animals in leisure and sport, 3) Migration, and 4) Environmental impacts. Choose just one film, access it, watch it, and write a short review following the outline and prompts below.

Please submit your Film Review via Canvas no later than 11:59pm on April 26. It is worth 10 points.

List of Films

• Travel and tourism
  1. The Endless Summer (on YouTube and Amazon Prime)
  2. Maidentrip (on YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Kanopy here: https://miamioh.kanopy.com/video/maidentrip (Links to an external site.))

Film Review Outline and Prompts

After watching your chosen film, please write a short review (500-600 words, 2-3 pages). Your review should be a well-organized essay responding to the following prompts:

• Brief summary of the film.
• An explanation of how the film relates to leisure and/or sport.
• Connections in the film between leisure and key concepts related to the course material (for example, how does Cat Walk present cat shows as leisure and the benefits for humans…and maybe for the cats?).
• Brief personal response to the film. Did you like it, why or why not? Did anything surprise you?
• One substantive question that the film prompted for you.
