Please write a 4-page analytic essay on the Exorcist, 1973, to explain the following statement: “the true subject of the horror genre is the struggle for recognition of all that our civilization represses and oppresses” (Robin Wood, 1985). The statement comes from Robin Wood’s essay, “An Introduction to the American Horror Film.” This essay will be 1 of the secondary sources you will use for your essay.
bibliography with no fewer than three (3) entries is required.
Your opening paragraph should include the title of the work you are analyzing, the name of the director, and the year of release. In this brief paragraph, you should present a simple thesis. For a critical film essay, you presume that your reader has seen the film, and therefore knows the story and plot details. Do not recount the entire plot. You may, if you feel it helps your overall argument, remind the reader of key themes and plot elements, but not in any extensive or lengthy detail. Keep in mind that, unlike a movie review, the critical essay seeks to reveal nuances or complexities that may have escaped a casual viewing of the film. That’s why, to make your point, you focus your essay on specific scenes or shots.
internet sources are not acceptable (i.e., Wikipedia, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes).
Inclusion of such resources will result in point deductions.
