Watch it between Friday (11/12) and Monday morning (11/15) and prepare to give a short presentation on the movie in class on Monday. Content of the presentation: (the time and the place you watched it; characters in the movie; summary; your thoughts on it). Length of presentation: 5 minutes per student.
