Watch a recent movie (since 2010) in which Catholicism or Catholics play a central role. Then write an analysis of the film including the following:
A BRIEF synopsis of the plot (this should not be the majority of your analysis)
Is the movie made by a Catholic/written by Catholic or does it have any involvement by actual Catholics?
How is Catholicism portrayed? Based on what you know of Catholicism, is the portrayal accurate?
Does the movie raise any interesting questions about faith, theology, the Catholic Church, clergy, Catholic Church teaching, etc? (It might not raise questions about all of these things, but try to find at least something)
Additional Requirements:
Your analysis should be at least 2 pages typed
You must use at least 2 reviews of the movie from a Catholic source. You may also use non-Catholic reviews, but you do not have to. The reviews can be written, video, or audio.
Include a works cited page with the two movie reviews and any other sources you used.
