Choose any film that is familiar and appealing to you and look up the log line on IMDb.

For example, the log line for “Deadpool” (2016) is, “A fast-talking mercenary with a morbid sense of humor is subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers and a quest for revenge.”

(So use a different film, not “Deadpool” either one or two.)

Next look up your selected film’s genre. For example, “Deadpool” is identified as “action, adventure, comedy.”

Next, explain the theme of your film in your own words. For example, let’s borrow this explanation of the theme of “Deadpool”…

“Deadpool’s special power is regeneration. His body can repair itself from any injury. He has formed a relationship with the personification of Death but because his healing power is so strong, he cannot die. This is a common theme in his stories.”
