Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for your patience. In this particular task, you are being asked to provide a movie review. We have already done a book review of the same so you should be familiar with the novel and the movie and the differences as well as execution of the scenes. I suggest using this simple outline:

1. About the Story - 100 words
2. Opinion - 100 words
3. Examples of the opinion (essence) - 100 words

This should cover what you need. Should you need a far longer paper, all you have to do is expand the ideas in each section accordingly. You can use the listed resources to further explore the topic. Just let me know via the feedback section if you need further clarification.

Sincerely,
AE 105878/Xenia Jones
