The assignment encourages comparisons between the film and a selected dystopian novel, exploring how different storytelling mediums influence the depiction of themes like constant observation, restricted information, and the illusion of perfection. Students will engage in both directorial analysis and comparative questions, fostering critical thinking about the impact of both cinema and literature in illustrating dystopian narratives.
