1  Select a specific topic that relates to current media issues, works, and debates on the topic:

  • A relevant topic might be the portrayal of historical figures, especially in resistance movements, and how they’re depicted in modern films. This links to debates around historical accuracy versus narrative adaptation. Resistance explores the life of Marcel Marceau, a French mime artist and Holocaust survivor, portraying his contributions to saving Jewish orphans. Issues of historical accuracy in cinema and how media influences public perceptions of history are key here. Another angle could be media’s role in revisiting unsung heroes of the Holocaust and resistance movements, which resonates with today’s increased focus on marginalized or overlooked historical figures.

2 How does the author study the issue?

  • Here, “author” can refer to the filmmakers and writers of Resistance. Consider how they researched Marceau's life and the broader context of WWII, utilizing archival materials, memoirs, or historical records to inform the narrative. This could include interviews with historians or relatives, and comparisons to other films on WWII resistance, such as Defiance or Inglourious Basterds, to see how Resistance aligns or differs in its portrayal.

3 Synthesize the information within the text into an organized summary:

  • Summarize Resistance by noting its main storyline—Marcel Marceau’s journey from mime artist to resistance hero during the Nazi occupation of France. Highlight key events, such as his protection of Jewish children and the challenges he faced in dangerous operations. Discuss how his skills in mime became essential in calming and leading children to safety. Consider the film’s themes of courage, sacrifice, and the moral complexities of wartime resistance.

4 Show your readers where to find the original sources:

  • Provide citations for primary sources that influenced the film, like Marceau’s memoirs, historical documentaries, or interviews with the filmmakers. Also, reference secondary sources on WWII resistance, Holocaust studies, and film criticism that can enrich the context of your study. These could be located in film databases, historical journals, or archives with memoirs and biographies of resistance fighters.

5 Identify aspects of the topic that need further investigation:

  • Areas needing more exploration include the accuracy of resistance portrayals in mainstream cinema, Marceau’s legacy outside of the film, or how resistance efforts have been recorded and remembered across different media. Additionally, exploring how marginalized historical figures are brought to light in modern media could offer valuable insights into how storytelling evolves and whom it chooses to spotlight.
