PROMPTS FOR SEARCHING FOR SUGAR-MAN
Your choice. Write on one of the following. For some of the questions, you may want to wander some, but stay connected to the movie.
1. What this movie could be about is a cycle of construction to destruction to re-construction (or new construction). You can think about this concretely or abstractly, and how that process is revealed in any of the movie’s narrative threads.
2. What about the imagery? For example, lots of birds over water shots, sunsets, Rodriguez walking, a steep and winding road in the opening sequence, formal head-on interview shots, maybe a few others. Many out of doors, not many inside. What’s that all about? How does the imagery help tell or how does it comment on the story—and what is that comment?
3. One of the men Rodriquez works for in his demolition job (see topic one) is really smart and makes a wonderful statement near the end of the film. Write about that statement in the context of what preceded it—in the film.
4. Three life lessons you heard, re-heard, or had re-enforced by this movie. Be specific with your examples.
