The movie will be Catch me while you can
For this project you will write a 5 page paper (double-spaced, type-written, 12-point font) using the guidelines below. Your paper must be a minimum of 5 pages, not including title page or reference page. The individual paper is worth 50 points and is worth 8% of your total grade. Please keep in mind that this paper is an “analysis” of the movie, and not a “summary” (I’ve seen all of the movies on the list, so I don’t need the plot). Please spend your efforts on good analysis using the following required guidelines:
1. Focus on the individual
What do you observe about the person, their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Please focus on a single character within the film that displays a mental illness. If there is more than one character with a mental illness (i.e., “Girl Interrupted”), please focus on the primary character. According to the definition(s) presented in both the lecture and the reading, is this person acting abnormal (i.e., “4 Big D’s” – distressful, deviant, dysfunctional, and dangerous)? What are their difficulties?
Is a diagnosis given in the film? Is it correct? How was it made? How would you alter the diagnosis? What do you think the diagnosis is?
What are the primary (“most important”), predisposing (“making someone liable or inclined to a specified attitude, action, or condition”), or precipitating (“an event or situation – typically one that is bad or undesirable – that causes something to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, or prematurely”) causes of the person’s disturbance?
How does the person’s history (i.e., their past experiences) relate to their disturbance? If the person’s history is not known, clearly stated, or shown in the film, what do you believe may have been a potential experience or event within the person’s history that might have contributed to the onset or exacerbation of their mental illness?
Take a particular model of causality (e.g., biological, psychodynamic, cognitive, sociocultural, behavioral, and/or human-existential) and apply it to the known or possible cause of the mental illness.
2. Focus on the environment
Are there any environmental influences that you believe are influential to the person’s disturbance? (e.g., the era, an institution, a dysfunctional family, a therapist’s practice, etc.)
Does the movie accurately portray the person with the mental illness? Or, do you believe the portrayal is distorted by “Hollywood”?
How do others respond to this person? Please focus on mental health professionals, family members, friends, and others in the person’s environment. If treatment was given in the film, was it helpful/harmful? If treatment was not given in the film (or not known to have happened), what type of treatment would you recommend (i.e., type of drug therapy, type of psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, etc.)?
What else do you believe would have helped the person improve/change, in your opinion?
These are some questions to ask yourself. Each movie, and each story is different and should provide a different focus to your paper. Work from your own experience and current knowledge base. Do not feel that you have to do “research”. To potentially receive a high grade, however, the above questions should be focused on in one way or another. Remember to write clearly and in a well-organized manner, since that is a portion of your grade as well. Always read back your work (and better yet, also have someone else read through it as they might be able to catch a mistake that you missed) and use grammar/spell-check tools before handing in your paper
