From the introduction segments you have just seen, can you make intelligent guesses about each film’s primary concern?
What does the music suggest about the emotional quality of each film? Will the film be happy, sad, or bittersweet? Will the film be funny, serious, or a mixture of the two?
What do you learn about the characters introduced in the beginning? Which of the characters are point-of-view characters (characters with whom we identify and through whose eyes we experience the film)?
