Final Proposal

I want to write an essay on the movie Sorry to Bother You and how I believe it's one of the greatest African Surrealist Films of our time. I will dive deep into the metaphors and symbolism throughout the movie. I will also talk about the performances and how Lakeith Stanfield is one of the best actors of our time. I also will talk about Boots Riley the director and his viewpoints on politics and how it affected his vision for the film. Overall, I want to discuss how this is probably one of the most underrated African American movies ever made.

Very cool movie to examine. I look forward to your analysis and conclusions. Let me know what sources you plan to use in your research (other critics, history books, comparable films, etc.).
I will discourage you from using superlatives like "greatest" and "best actors" and "most underrated." My experience in 200-level class is that students make bold statements like these but don't exactly justify them. If you analyze the material and make interesting conclusions, your reader will make their own determination about greatness.
