I must write a 3-5 page paper on a piece of media set before

>>2709664
I was considering the Passion of the Christ and Gladiator as two contenders.

>>2709664
Idk. Prince of Egypt?

>>2709688
That movie barely follows the Bible, would rather just do it on the Ten Commandments.

>>2709664
Just watch gladiator and for your sources use some from the bibliography on gladiators Wikipedia page or from the page on the colosseum. At least one will be from a scholarly book
This should fly without issue assuming you're still in high school

HBO Rome, psychoanalyse the meaning of TRVE ROMAN BREAD FOR TRVE ROMANS
before 1500 book can be Jared Diamond guns germs and steel, then only talk about how flawed this is for a pre 1500 world view of history

>>2709729
Don't do gladiator that's uncreative

>>2709729
I am in college

>>2709739
Jared Diamond is a joke

>>2709664
Something set in pompeii, and have one of your sources be the graffiti

>>2709664
jstor is your friend

>>2709865
But what movie should I do?

>>2709749
This is American education, they probably take him at his word rather than look at the historiography

>a movie
Pick a Greek tragedy, their short, there's a lot of sources on them, and they're usually pretty direct with their meaning.
A tragedy will take less time than a movie to read, generally, and is easier to cite than a movie.

The Bacchae is fun to write about. Maybe I'm expecting too much knowledge from you though.
>3-5 page paper
Are you sure you aren't in high school?

>>2709664
Watch Kingdom of Heaven and analyze the historiography that is often associated with the crusades, and the dogma that surrounds them.

>>2709940
This.

>psychoanalyse the meaning of TRVE ROMAN BREAD FOR TRVE ROMANS

You couldn't do justice to the based FRATERVUM MILLARUM in 3-5 pages that's like thesis defense material right there.

>>2709664
One of the roman ideas, use the history of the decline and fall of the roman empire, its all the information you'll ever need.

I don't know if that would fly, the paper would be too long

Ice Age starring John Leguizamo

How about the the Pompeii 2014 movie? Should be easy to analyze and you can find a million books pertaining or related to Pompeii

quo vadis

If I went with Passion of the Christ, what would I pick as my scholarly book? The Bible would be my main source but I doubt he would recognize that as my "scholarly book" requirement.

>>2711315
Not a Biblical scholar but I think Bart Ehrman is all the rage in biblical history right now.

>>2711339
He is a non-believer, no more an authority on biblical history than I am

>>2711383
Hes an academic who spent his life studying the historical context and passages of the Bible more than you ever have. Nice bait tho.
