both - that is, you can write about them separately or together,
comparing them, as you prefer.
- critiquing the movie from the point of view of what
you now know
about cloning - did any of it make sense? could any of
it
possibly happen? How far-fetched did it seem?
- does it matter to you when the science is incorrect
or silly? explain your reaction.
- And, how do you think your understanding and
appreciation/enjoyment of the movie was affected by this
class?
Do you think you liked the movie more, less, or maybe about
the same

saw the movie before, than last time)? Explain
briefly.
