Due:

1. What was this film about? I don’t mean the plot; I mean, what did the filmmakers want you to understand or think about? What makes you say so?

2. Consider the mise-en-scene elements we studied this trimester (sound, color, camera angles, shot types, framing and composition). What were THREE things that stood out to you? What effect did they have on the overall film?

3. Think about the title (“Brotherhood”). How did the film complicate the idea of “brotherhood”? Of honor? Of betrayal?

4. This film is full of close-ups and shallow focus shots. Where did you notice this? What effect did it have?

5. Did you like the film? Why or why not? What did you like or dislike? What changes would you make, if you were in charge?
