Where are you saying the scene begins and ends? What is the plot function of the scene in question? Why did you choose it? Why is this particular scene important to the film's overall meaning and thematic outlook? This of course means you have to determine at the outset (first paragraph) what the film's themes are. No plot summaries, please, assume we've seen the film (we have!). I would predict with a four-page paper that at least half of the first page would be devoted specifically to setting out what your ideas on the film's themes are.

What is the filmmaker's attitude? What is s/he trying to say about the context of the events unfolding? Certainly the filmmaker wants to entertain us, but even the most purely entertaining story has a point to it, a message, an outlook, a point-of-view.

Remember that you are not being asked to judge the film or the scenes as "good" or "bad." This is not about becoming Siskel and Ebert. You are being asked to clearly and succinctly state the film's theme and its attitude toward its subject matter, to analyze in depth two key scenes which should support that interpretation, and to show how the dominant elements in the two scenes relate to the film as a whole If sketches or frame captures will clarify your analysis, please include them.

families, a black family and a white family who live in a social structure where blacks are
socially constructed as inferior. Black characters are faced with hardships as they battle with
harsh reality of being prejudiced by the whites.
The two families live different lives, and the black characters are depicted as servants to
the white family. Scenes set at the two families are also lit differently. The blacks house is quite
dim thus building on the theme of poverty while the home for the other family has got enough
light. Jackson's family is very close from the scenes that unfold in the movie. Hap's family is also
tightly knit, and he works hard in raising strong children by instilling virtues in them through his
hard work and faith.
Dee Ree also explores the theme of friendship. Ronsel and Jamie's friendship buds and
blossoms despite their diverse racial backgrounds. War is also built on the events that take place
