What is the May Fourth Movement, why is it called “The Chinese Enlightenment,” and how is the “New Woman” trope central to this political, social, and cultural movement? Analyze and critically compare two films that engage the “New Woman” theme by focusing closely on key aspects of story and plot; characterization and performance; set design; and cinematography. In your film analysis, consider the ways in which these films contributed to the May Fourth “New Woman” discourse.
1. Construct a clear, well-rounded thesis / argument.
2. Analyze and discuss TWO (2) films within the framework of your central thesis / argument.
3. Integrate and engage ideas in at least ONE (1) secondary source of relevant scholarship or theory. Be sure to accurately cite the author and title of the text(s) you are referring to.
4. Follow correct formatting guidelines (MLA or Chicago Manual of Style) for all references and bibliography (list of works cited).
