MOVIE CHOICES Part 3: Dramas About Older Characters

This semester, you will write an essay about a movie character. You can choose from many different movies. On the blog this week, I will post videos and pictures from some of these movies. See what you think! If you have any questions, ask in the comments!

“Blue Jasmine” (2013) – Jasmine (drama)      

Cate Blanchett won an Academy Award for her amazing performance in this movie, directed by one of the most famous American directors, Woody Allen. Jasmine is one of the most interesting characters in all the movie choices. There will be a lot to write about and talk about if you choose this movie. 

“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (2013) Walter Mitty (drama, adventure)

If you're interested in traveling or photography, this movie is a good choice for you. Ben Stiller plays a timid man who embarks on adventure in this popular recent movie.

“Passion Fish” (1992) May-Alice Culhane (drama, comedy) 

This is one of the ten best movies I have ever seen in my life, and I watch A LOT of movies. The characters and the dialogue in this movie are excellent. It also shows the music and landscape of a really unique area in the American South. Check to make sure you can find it first, but this is a fantastic film if you can get your hands on it!
