AGING IN MOVIES REVIEW

There is a plethora of films out there depicting various dimensions of the aging process. Despite
the belly-laughing, or sometimes, tear-jerking emotions we gather from these films, we often do
not stop to wonder if these depictions of various dimensions of aging are accurate…or a bunch
of malarky (i.e., nonsense). For this assignment, you are tasked with watching a film, not a TV

show, of your choice that depicts any aspect of aging that has been discussed in our class. After
watching the film, answer the questions below.

Movie title:

Give your review a title. It can be as funny or as serious as you would like.

4. Based on what you have learned thus far in the course, do you feel that this film
provides an accurate depiction of aging and/or the various aspects of aging? (i.e.,
mental/physical health, relationships, challenges, disease, wisdom, personality, etc.)
Why or why not? Include at least 2 scholarly citations to support your answer.
(no more than 7 sentences)

5. In what ways do you believe that this film could improve to provide a more accurate
depiction of this dimension of aging?
(no more than 7 sentences)

6. All movies teach a lesson (theme/moral). What did you learn from this one?
(no more than 4 sentences)

Please erase the information below when submitting your worksheet.

Wait, but how are we getting graded? Good question. I am grading your midterm similar to
how I grade your “3-2-1” Post & Reply. I am looking to see that you have followed the sentence
length requirements, evidenced that you have proofread your work (i.e., made little to no
grammatical/spelling errors), and that your responses are well-thought out (see examples of
well-thought/poorly thought-out answers on the syllabus). One aspect that I am going to pay
specific attention to is correct citation of scholarly articles on #4. See the Helpful Resources
