The Sea Inside

In this film, the main character spends almost thirty years trying to win the right to end his life. Give a brief reflection on the film. Was there any way the film uplifted you even though it was a sad topic? Reflect on that question (yes or no, and why). Using your book in Chapter 5, what are some examples of ethical argument(s) that could be used to either grant his wish or deny it? Was there anything that happened in the film that you think should have changed his mind about his decision?

Juno

Like many popular films, JUNO perhaps enables the audience to explore in fantasy the boundary between the permitted and the forbidden. Does the film end by reaffirming the social status quo? Write a paragraph reflection dealing with your opinion on that. In what ways does the film transgress social norms?

Next, did you identify with the way Juno and Bleeker dealt with the situation? Was there anything that frustrated you in how they handled it? List some of these things, and make reference to Chapter 4 if possible on which writings do you think Juno was most aligned with. Why?
