IOW, you don't need to have learned anything from the movie per se, just establish a tangential thesis and exposit intelligently.
But then, I don't know your teacher.
That's actually the tactic I'm going to have to use. The film does depict a few little issues that are gross caricatures of reality, so I'll discuss one of those and compare the artistically licensed version with what happens in real life.
I think I may also write a bit about something the movie left out, but which is mentioned in the book.
I only wish it were a writing class or an artsy class--I'd have absolutely NO difficulty writing reams. REAMS, I tell you.
Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I like it better with her cropped out... more of a family portrait moment.
That's how some people read the Bible.
Indeed. It has ben 'cropped' a few times... particularly excizing females.
I do love the troll painting though... lovely, with and without the princess.

You can be as stealthy as you like, but the slight lean to the left will always give you away.

To compensate for that, give the person to your right a dirty look.
And, if anyone says anything, all you have to retort is "He who smelt it dealt it!"
