Bridget's feedback:

"Your attention to detail and ability to weave well-chosen examples from the film into a critical discussion is impressive. It's clear you've spent time with the text (the film) and have mastery of the film theory elements that shape your discussion; the throughline regarding contrast and your final point about implicit messages brings the discussion into a sophisticated space.

Your remaining task will be in proofreading; there are enough errors or awkward diction/syntax moments to impede clarity. With the reader struggling to decipher each clause, your ideas don't receive the reader's full attention. Spend the final moments of your writing process making sure your writing is mechanically correct and clear. And as a quick final note, watch out for the spelling of Scarlett's name."
