Choose either Solaris (2002) or Day the Earth Stood Still (2008). After watching the film of your choice write a 500-750 word reaction paper that draws your conclusion as to what you believe is the overall theme and message of the film, identify which contemporary fears and fantasies may have informed its story, and describe any scenes, dialogue, and even musical score, or any other elements in the film that support the overall theme and meaning that you have come away with from your experience. Please include a well thought out thesis statement in your introduction the ties your reaction paper together!
