Instructions:
Movie Viewing: Watch the movie "Up: An Adventure of a Lifetime" and pay close
attention to the characters, their interactions, and the events that unfold.
Psychogerontological Concepts: Familiarize yourself with the concepts and theories of
psychogerontology, which examines the psychological and social aspects of aging.
Analysis: Write a comprehensive analysis (700-1000 words) that addresses the following
points:
Context: Introduce the movie and provide a brief overview of the main characters
and their relationships.
Psychogerontological Framework: Explain the key concepts of
psychogerontology that will guide your analysis. How does psychogerontology
contribute to understanding aging-related experiences and challenges? Be sure to
review the topics we reviewed in class (types of aging, professional and
occupational cycle, after retirement from work, physical changes, brain aging,
sensory and psychomotor functioning, vision and hearing, sleep, and sexual
functioning).
Character Analysis: Choose at least one older character from the movie and
analyze he/she psychological, emotional, and social characteristics. How do this
character experience and cope with the aging process? What challenges and
strengths do he/she exhibit?
Impact of Aging: Explore how aging-related factors (such as loss, memory,
relationships, and life transitions) influence the characters' behaviors, decisions, and
emotions. Connect these impacts to relevant psychogerontological concepts.
Reflection: Conclude your analysis by reflecting on the significance of the movie's
portrayal of aging from a psychogerontological perspective. How does the movie
contribute to broader discussions about aging and its complexities? What insights or
lessons can be drawn from the characters' experiences?
Writing Style: Write in clear, concise, and formal English. Use appropriate
terminology from psychogerontology to demonstrate your understanding.
Submission: Submit your analysis as a typed document in PDF format through the
designated submission on Teams.

analysis, the clarity of your writing, the accuracy of your connections to the movie, and the
