Write a short response to: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014: USA/Iran)Written and Directed by Ana Lily AmirpourCast:Sheila Vand: The Girl
Arash Marandi: Arash
Marshall Manesh: Hossein The Junkie
Mozan Marno: Atti, the prostitute
Dominic Rains: Saaed, the pimp
Rome Shandaloo: Shaydah, the princess
Milad Eghbali: The street urchin
Ana Lily Amirpour: The skeleton party girlNarrative analysis:
Consider the following questions:
From whose perspective do we experience the story?
Is this a typical horror film? A typical vampire story? Why or why not?
How do you interpret the films ending? Does the lack of closure feel consistent with the rest of the story. Is this a strong or a weak way to end this film in your opinion?Narrative Analysis:Begin by asking yourself how the narrative of the film is constructed. Does it have a storyline? If not, why not?
Is the story told chronologically, or does the plot rearrange events in an unusual temporal order?
Is there a reason for that particular plot structure?
What in the story is left out in the actual plot construction?
Are there reasons for including some material and omitting other material?
Does the way the story is told become a prominent feature of the film and thus, a central factor in an analysis of it?
Who narrates the film? Is there voice-over narration?
Is the movie concerned with time and history, which might influence how the plot is constructed? Does it use flashbacks or, more rarely, flash forwards?
What propels the story forward: a mystery, as in Donnie Darko, Memento or Shutter Island? A quest to find something as in Raiders of the Lost Ark? the pursuit of love as in so many Romantic Comedies or something much more complicated?
Are there formal features, patterns, or organizational structure son the story that stand out? A series of contrasts? Repetitions? Disconnected fragments?
Is there closure or are you left with serious questions about the story? However, just because you are focusing on character development, or plot structure, or a particular stylistic element such as sound, cinematography or editing, does not mean that you arent also interpreting the cultural, philosophical or socio-political meaning of the film at the same time. For example, if you choose to analyze the character of Latika in Slumdog Millionaire, you will most likely being interpreting her role as a damsel in distress and analyzing that both in the context of the history of cinematic storytelling and in the cultural context of the Indian tradition of arranged marriage. If you are analyzing the narrative structure of City of God, issues of race and class will surely be integrated into that analysis. If you choose to focus on the editing in Persona, you will probably discuss Bergmans existential critique of how humans make meaning and construct identities.
The Discussion Question spans two weeks, your Initial Response is due Week 5 and Follow-On posts by Week 6. After three weeks reading and listening, once and again, that psychology uses the scientific method, you may have been surprised to discover that some of the schools or paradigms discussed this week are not precisely an epitome of science. They correspond to approaches for whom the scientific knowledge adapted by psychologists from the natural sciences is not the most valid one or at least not the only one. For your second Discussion activity, you are required to identify which of the paradigms presented this week can be considered as non-scientific. You should then select one of them and explain how it violates the principles described in Weeks 2, 3 and 4. Post the following: The names of all the psychological schools discussed this week that should be considered as non-scientific. The name of the non-scientific psychological school that you will discuss in depth. A comprehensive and coherent explanation of why you think that school is non-scientific, indicating what principles it violates, what limitations this implies for the acceptability of its results and whether you think this non-scientific character invalidates this schools suitability for the analysis of human mind and behaviour. Remember to support your analysis with academic references and to provide a critical analysis rather than a description. Remember: The typical length of the response is about 500 words (with maximum of 550 words). There is no minimum word length, as it is the quality of the answer that matters. Support your Initial Response with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. Discussions span over two weeks your Initial Response is submitted in the first week, and Follow-On responses posted over the two week period (following the 3-out-of-7-days participation rule). If you utilise references to the literature to support your arguments, remember to cite them according to the publication guidelines of the American Psychological Association. References provided will not be included in the word count.
