Thank You, Lieutenant Sarcasm

This is what I've written as part of a paper (essay format, supposedly) that I'm turning in tomorrow. Honest to goodness, word for word.

 

 

Consider the effectiveness of the movie in communicating its message. As a tool of communication, what are its strengths and weaknesses?

The film is quite effective in communicating its message. It scares people into germophobia and educates them on the worst-case scenario. Its strengths include fake blood, crying children, scared families, desperation, death (all of which are very good for getting people to relate to the film on an emotional level for more effective inundation), an old friend who is haunted by past wrongs, a helicopter chase, and explosions. Its weaknesses include not enough footage of gory disease, making the gullible audience think that an antivirus can be isolated, created, and distributed to an entire town in less than a day, and not enough explosions.

I saw Outbreak many years ago. One of the slightly more memorable flims out there, perhaps largely due to the items mentioned here. /intentional typo muhaha
