Determine Our Grades| After watching a movie with your children
or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for
education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few
discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in
the home. In this movie, the audience is expected to have
empathy for a man who makes his living through illegal means.
How do movies like this try and convince us that criminals are
heroes? If you have seen this movie, at what point are we first
expected to feel like Frank is a nice guy? In what other ways
does this movie manipulate truth? How long could Frank make a
living doing what he does before his life would be in serious
danger? Are criminals more able to enforce justice than police?
Notice the portrayal of the only female character in this film.
What methods does she use to gain Franks trust and protection?
