The two films I have picked are The Caine Mutiny (1954) and The Joker (2019). Both films depict some sort of mental health issue.

Write about how the two films you’ve selected depict your Final Project topic and address the following:

How do these films influence American culture now and when they were released?
How are these films similar, and how are they different, in the presentation of your topic?
How do these films affect you personally?
Assume your reader does not know anything about these movies. Give a simple, short synopsis and then comment on the films. Feel confident in using a personal narrative about how you experience this movie, but always look for specific evidence from what you see and hear in the movie to support your feelings and thoughts.

Feel free to use outside sources to support your remarks, if necessary. REMEMBER: This is not a research paper. I am interested in what you have to say, not in what you can learn by reading up on what others have written about these films.
