Can someone please list out some sample questions for analysis on "On the Waterfront" film?
-
How does Kazan create tension and suspense in On the Waterfront?
Father Barry: “There’s one thing we have in this country, and that’s ways of fighting back". How does On the Waterfront explore the power of the individual?
‘It is not only through physical violence that the mob maintains its power.’ Do you agree?
Terry says, “Quit worrying about the truth …” In On the Waterfront, how important is the truth?
‘It is Edie Doyle, with her sense of right and wrong, who is responsible for the changes that take place in On the Waterfront.’ Do you agree?
How important is family loyalty in On the Waterfront?
‘Terry Molloy is an unlikely hero.’ How does the film-maker convince the viewer that Terry has the qualities necessary to make a stand against the mob’s control of the waterfront?
'‘On the Waterfront demonstrates that collective action depends on the courage and conviction of a few individuals.’ Discuss.
Terry says to Charley: “I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum. Which is what I am”. Does the film support Terry’s judgment of himself?
