For this Discussion, you are to watch two feature length movies. One film is to be one in which the higher “Good” does not “Win.”  The other film is to be one in which the higher “Good” does “Win.”

You may choose films from the list “ARTH 204 List of Movies for Week Two” found in the content for Week Two.  You may also choose other films that meet the following criteria:

  1. No war or battle movies since that is a topic we will cover later in class
  2. No animation films for this Discussion.
  3. The film must not be ambivalent about the nature of goodness.

After watching these films, answer the following questions.

Please indicate which film fits into which category.  When you name characters (or indicate the person by the actor) for the first time, please make sure you indicated which film the character is from.

Of the two films you watched for this Discussion assignment, which one did you like or enjoy the most? Explain why?
