For each themed movie review, you will write a 1-page (single space, about 500 words) review based on the given guidelines. You can choose a version of a movie based on your preference. Please also note that I DO NOT grade on length. I grade on the quality of your writing, reflection and participation.

Who is the main character and what is the main character’s relation with those surrounding characters? What is the main character’s gender and how is the main character’s gender features/ characteristics represented (portrayed visually)? How might the representation on gender dynamics in the movie inform or reflect the power relations in a society?
Now pick a supporting character and analyze how this supporting character’s gender is represented in the movie and what kind of power relation is demonstrated through such representation.
Is the movie based on a previously existing story/ fairytale or original? If based on a fairytale, describe the background and history of the original story in terms of its origin, author and publication information.
