Introduction
Watching a movie while analyzing it can be inspiring. Usually we go along for the ride of a movie and enjoy settings and the actors, and allow ourselves to be at the mercy of our emotions. We want to escape into the world that the movie presents. But when selecting one of the movies listed below, or if you have a movie in mind, and watching and listening to it with analytical eyes and ears, a whole new experience, a richer and deeper experience will emerge. You will be able to see the motivation and speculate on the outcome of the characters actions. It’s easy to get lost in a movie, so prepare a list of theories, concepts, and skill sets that have been covered in this class so far. Take on the challenge of finding as many as you can identify while experiencing the movie. You may be surprised at how many you will discover! But select two or three that feel strongly about and concentrate on those.
With your newly found information, you will begin to analyze what leadership qualities or lack thereof are on the screen before you. Take notes while watching and try to analyze the new vision you have of what’s going on. You’ll feel as though you know some of the characters because you have the advantage of the insider information from this class. You may be surprised or shocked by leaders in your movie as you apply your knowledge and analyze their decisions, relationships, conversations and actions.
