Film Discussion and essay questions - Fantastic Mr Fox
A set of nine questions to support a unit of work on Wes Anderson's superb film 'Fantastic Mr Fox'. This is an excellent film for study because it is of wide appeal, is fun, and can be analysed at different levels of depth and complexity. As a film text it provides excellent examples of art design, camerawork and composition, and will inspire students to attempt their own stop motion film creations.
Most of these questions are at a moderately advanced level, as teachers can easily generate thei

Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec Film Guide: Plot and Essay Questions
Teachers and parents, Especially if you have easily distracted, at-risk kids this film will work well for you. A stunning visual masterpiece, the inclusion of strong fantasy/supernatural elements will also make it a hit with young people. The fact that the main character and heroine happens to be female gives it a modern feel, almost like Wonder Woman meets James Bond with Adèle's use of one-liners. There really is nothing like this film and students will appreciate that. This packet will ensure

Nor does it offend anyone with its content despite a scene of post-coital, romantic planning.Although simple and very easy to follow in terms of the story, this film does lend itself to some higher-end discussions as my packet will certainly help to flesh out. An array of topics ranging from traditional gender roles to mental health issues and their resulting social stigmas are very quietly called into question
