FILM - 242. Film and Justice

This course explores how cinema imagines and interrogates justice through visual form and narrative design. From global realism to political thriller, films such as Rashomon (1950), Do the Right Thing {1989), and Minority Report (2002) reveal how framing, sound, and performance shape moral perceptions. Students examine justice as representation, structure, memory, and emotion; they will analyze how film exposes inequality by revisiting trauma, and evoking ethical responses. Integrating cultural criticism and formal analysis, the course invites students to see cinema as both a mirror and an agent of moral imagination in the pursuit of justice.
