My class is about American Popular Culture of Violence in American Cinema. Please use all the materials I upload to write a response paper.The question is– Compare and contrast the depiction of screen violence in two different film genres/subgenres that we have viewed in the last two weeks. Be sure to use specific examples from the films and relevant concepts from the readings in your response. You may use additional readings as sources but be sure to acknowledge them in your response. Only use the films screened in class as your examples.
