Any topic (writer’s choice)

Pick one scene that impressed you most from the film. Explain how and why that particular scene is impressive to you. Refer to the assigned reading and think about how your argument is related to it. Include the image(s) from the scene in your journal. The expression of your paper needs to be clear (correct grammar; clear meanings of words). Your argument needs to have a structure (introduction, explanation, conclusion)

In addition, separately from your argument on a scene, write down the keyword from the lecture, which the instructor gives, in your response paper. Also, briefly explain the reason why that is the keyword of the sequence in one sentence.(The keyword is XXX because ….) The reason should be clear by thelecture. You do not need to repeat exactly what the instructor says. Use your own words to explain.

Keyword is: Contradiction

Film:
Blind Swordsman Zatoichi (Zatoichi, Kitano Takeshi, 2003)

Reading:
Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto, Kurosawa: Film Studies and Japanese Cinema(Durham:Duke University Press, 2000), 207-234, 412-418.

Keyword is: Contradiction

Also, I need 1 image from the scene in the journal.

Originality (your own ideaabout why and how the scene is impressive) is important

I uploaded the reading, please use it and cite it.
