just released on DVD, a film from the 1990’s and a film pre-1990’s. They

the films?

Make notes
as you watch each film, and reflect on at least one character from each film,
their development throughout the film, as well as the story/plot. Look at the hair and make-up and styling. Was there a visual motif used? Did it add to
your understanding of the character, or help it move the plot along?
