_____ Analysis and Evaluation – 5 points
In this section you analyze or critique the movie. Write about your own opinions; just be
sure that you explain and support them with examples. Some questions you might want to
consider:

 How did the director achieve his or her purpose?

Because director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay (or
script) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfilment of that vision. The directorhas a key
role in choosing the cast members, production design and all the creative aspects of filmmaking.

 Is the acting / writing / music effective, powerful, difficult, beautiful?

I found the acting was good, and the writing decent,  I suddenly wondered whether my
fashion choices were that embarrassing. Aside from acting, writing

 What are the strengths and weaknesss of the movie?

The weaknesses of the movie are. no amount of evidence will convince a sinner to believe in
Jesus
And also the strengths of the movie, consider the historical evidence and this movie presents it
in an easily understandable and persuasive manner.
 What is your overall response to the movie? Did you find it interesting, moving, dull? Why?

Yes it is interesting as well we used at in the future such as the role of evidence and the necessary
work to the movie , the historical evidence for the resurrection of Christ can really encourage young
people in their faith.
 Would you recommend it to others? Why or why not?
Yes I would certainly recommend it for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Conclusion – 5 points
Briefly conclude the review by pulling your thoughts together. You may want to say what
impression the movie left you with, or emphasize what you want your reader to know
about it. Be sure to include a grade, A-F, in your review with a recap of why it earned that
grade.
o the movie gives the impression that the evidence alone was so compelling that Strobel
unintentionally argued himself into believing in Christ. But the movie likely will impress even
dedicated nonbelievers with its willingness to place as much emphasis on empirical evidence
as on blind faith.
