Description choose one movie "NOT specified" and discuss how it relates to some of the major themes related to Buddhism raised in this class. Avoid using documentaries about Buddhism for this assignment. Those are too ‘on the nose’. Instead, I’d like you to demonstrate your creativity by noticing elements of Buddhism in ‘Hollywood’, or ‘Blockbuster’ movies. Be sure to support your thoughts with specific examples from both the movie as well as the Buddhist theme(s) you find it is related. I do not want you to choose documentaries for this assignment, but would rather you analyze normal 'blockbuster' type films in order to demonstrate both creative and critical analysis. This assignment should also be about 1000 words (4 pages). Quote from Syllabus When providing these sources, you must use the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS or Chicago Style). Your essays will be graded on the following criteria: a) evidence that the factual material called for in the question is presented and documented; b) coherence of the essay in organization and structure; c) ability to engage critically and analytically with the topic d) evidence of creative thinking; e) correct annotation of sources and presentation of bibliography; f) correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.
