· 1000-word commentary on weeks 7-9 course materials uploaded to TED by midnight
As for our third commentary, which is due Sunday midnight, please discuss the ways the three major films e-screened over Weeks 7-9 deal with Japanese/Chinese/American (Hollywood) influences, in terms of film genres (state or cold war propaganda, romance comedy, gangster film, noir and detective, and so on), narrative technique, identity formation and political agency, global/local dialectics, minority rights, or ecology and sustainability. Please draw on specific scenes to make your points. And the grading rule I will give you below.
