This discussion forum is designed for you to post your interpretations of the film Winter’s Bone. This is your opportunity to raise significant issues about the film, interact with and learn from other students, and deepen your understanding of film and cultures of poverty. You don’t have to like this film (or any of the films we view), but you do need to find constructive ways to talk about it.
Discussion board writing is relatively informal, but use complete sentences as well as proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
You are asked to write two-paragraph original post about the film.
For the narrative post you do not need to write a summary of the entire film. Assume your peers know the film and instead talk about specific aspects of the story, perhaps considering how it engages with our course theme of cultures of poverty.
For the film technique paragraph, you are expected to use the film terminology you learned in the last module to describe and analyze specific aspects of filmmaking that stood out to you in the film. Again, use specific, concrete examples, referring to specific shots/scenes whenever possible. Each paragraph should be 100-150 words long.
