The theme:City and the dystopian imagination;
CITY IS NewYork, And the Film is, X-men: days of future past (2014)
The cities and urban sites represented in films reflect prevailing cultural norms, societal structures and ideologies. You must engage one of the claims/arguments about the relationship between film and the city in the academic sources I have uploaded.. The purpose is not to repeat what is being argued in the academic sources. Instead, you should examine and analyse the argument in the literature and then critique it or develop it further. You should provide your own interpretations of the chosen film(s), defend and justify your arguments, propose your own responses to the references. In your essay, you should refer closely to the aspects of film form and style of the chosen film(s) such as mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound and editing.
