Please watch the video and essay instruction thoroughly before you start writing. For this film review/response you are required to examine Deepa Mehtas film Fire as you consider the following questions: a. Discuss how compulsory heterosexuality and religion intersect to regulate and surveille womens sexuality in the film Fire. Draw on Gayle Rubins definition of compulsory heterosexuality. b. The film references the story of Rama and Sita, a Hindu religious story from the Ramayana. What is the relevance of this reference and what function does it serve in terms of the larger narrative of the film? For this critical film review, you are required to closely read the film and support the points you raise when engaging with the two questions above by using the film and an accompanying secondary source (at least one). In your analysis you will also be required to make connections between the film and key concepts/themes we have discussed in class (a minimum of 2, excluding the term/concept compulsory heterosexuality). Additionally, you are required to present/create a clear thesis and support this thesis with examples from the film and scholarly material you analyze.
