Watch one of these movies, which relate closely to topics covered in this class:

El Cid (1961); Land and Freedom (1995); For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943); 1492 (1992); Mad Love (2001); Goya’s Ghosts (2006); The Fencing Master (1992).

Write a 2-3 page paper that does the following: 1) Clearly identifies the historical topics covered in the movie. Think of this like the ID questions on our midterm. I want to know the basic who/what/where/when. 2) Identify ways in which the movie accurately reflects the history of the time period in terms of what we have learned in this class. The Barton book would be a great resource to use here. 3) Identify how the movie departs from historical reality, and try to explain why it does so. 4) Give me your assessment on the value of the movie for learning about and understanding the history of Spain.
