Oral Presentation Critique

The film I reviewed and analyzed was Gran Torino. I covered various topics in accessing this film and started off with some background information about the widely known Clint Eastwood. Clint Eastwood used various techniques to create a movie based on the socio-cultural context of an issue that still resides today. The movie was heavily based on racism and racist comments were sprinkled throughout the film. Other aspects of the film included religious, a struggle for identity and harshness eases as one character realizes the constant hardships of an abused race. Clint Eastwood resolves the story and the gang issue by sacrificing himself in a religious relation to God. I thought my breakdown of the cinematography of my scene was well thought out and discussed but I became repetitive as the techniques seemed to overlap. The repeating become natural because the scene had a lot of similar ideas in it, but it seemed to drag on a bit too much and originally I didn't have enough speaking time because I thought I had too much information. Overall I think this performance is worthy of a 19 because it didn't stray too far and had minor miscues.
