Choose and focus on three films from the above lists.

Discuss and compare the generic characteristics and historical evolution of Hong Kong martial arts films andaction films in terms of theme, plot, and/or style. The minimum length of the paper should be 5 full pages, double-space, font size 12 (preferred script: Times New Roman). If you wish to choose any film from outside the above lists, please let me know first. You should not write about the films of one particular star or director only.

Avoid simple generalization. Please refer to specific elements and details of the films. You might wish to consider such formal and stylistic features: characters, scenes, cinematography, editing, lighting, sound, music, and pacing (rhythm). You may consult assigned reading materials, or do some additional research outside the class. Please always acknowledge your sources. Do not use the words and ideas of a publication or online source without appropriate citations.

The course partially fulfills your writing requirement. Your writing is expected to reflect college-level competence in form and content. Both what you write and how you write will be evaluated. Relevant aspects of writing will be looked at as usual: coherence, organization, argument, elegance, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and so on.

At the end of the paper, you should indicate the manner, source, time, and place of viewing the films that you have chosen to discuss. Failure to do so means that you did not watch the films and merely copied information from other sources. That would be regarded as academic dishonesty.
