Street Fighter The Legend of Chun Li Film Review

For this paper, you will produce a film review through a sociological lens. Pick a film that you can watch over and over again and can pause/play throughout. A film on DVD or streaming online (e.g. Netflix) is best. The film must be fictional; no documentaries allowed

This is not a summary of the film but an analysis of the film using sociological concepts that we have discussed and read about throughout the semester.  

You must analyze the film using sociological concepts that we have discussed and read about throughout the semester. For the analysis, please answer the following questions:  

1. In the introduction of your paper, include a brief synopsis of the film, and describe the main characters, including their names.

2. Using your sociological imagination, what is your review of this movie?

Make sure to review the sociological imagination in the Ferris & Stein text when responding to this question.

3. Analyze the film using one of the following theories: structural functionalism, structural strain, conflict, Marxist conflict, feminist, queer, symbolic interactionism, or dramaturgy

4. Select two issues/topics from class (key concepts from Ferris & Stein text). For each topic address the following:

a. How are these issues/topics discussed or displayed in the movie?  

b. How does the movie help you to understand these topics?  

5. How does who you are (your multiple identities, such as your roles, race/ethnicity, social class, gender, sexuality, etc. and your biases) affect your viewing of the movie? 

6. When watching the movie through a sociological lens, how is the movie different now?
