- Who were your most/least favorite characters in the movie? Why?- What were you thinking as you finished watching the film?- What is the message of this movie? Do you agree or disagree with it? How does it relate to your life?

Remember quality is better than quantity! You don’t need to answer all the questions, choose some and answer with critical reasoning, and explain clearly with specific examples.
