The melodrama film that I have is Licorice Pizza (2021) by Paul Thomas Anderson.
Create a blog post. It should be approximately 1000- 1200 words long, have a title and Works Cited portion, and should briefly summarize the film you’ve chosen, explain what qualities make it a melodrama, and make a specific claim about
the film, drawing on at least two scholarly sources. Here are some guiding questions you may choose to answer in your post:
• Is there a sense of “good” and “evil” in this film? If so, what is being positioned as good, and what is being positioned as evil? Why?
• What kinds of structures are being explored in the film (social, cultural, architectural –things like marriage, family, home, work) and how are they being depicted?
• Do the film’s formal qualities reveal significant things about the characters or the story? If so, why is this important?
• How does the film relate to its context — national, historical, etc.? What does it suggest about the world in which it was made or the world in which it is set?
(These are just a sampling – any of these and any number of others could lead you to a great post). I encourage you to use visual aids in your post – include images where they are helpful.
