I think that the Marxist analysis was sophisticated and went beyond my expectations. I also thought that considering attractiveness as a kind of currency went beyond what I had expected. I also really liked the analysis that the guy actually has control over everything.

I think that this video is engaging by making this movie as an overview from the audience to catch others attention to watch it. Especially from using the feminist and Marxist lens.

The video was engaging and interesting at most parts. It was nice to see clips from the movie, and the dynamic posed by having two narrators was interesting to hear. The video was funny, however at times it felt like the jokes sidetracked the video from the actual topic and distracted the viewer. Some things seemed to drag on a little longer than necessary, as well.

The analysis was strong for the most part, going into detail on how the characters interact, and how the different lenses played into these things. It did feel a little blatant at times, as though it was less so serving as analysis the movie through the lenses, and more just describing the movie itself with those idea in mind. However, overall the analysis was strong and detailed.

Video was funny and entertaining, although it dragged on at points. The narration was clever, although there wasn't enough of it, and I had a feeling that the jingle bells scene existed only to add time to your video. Overall, I'd say I was engaged, but only moderately so. The analysis brought up some interesting points, and went into some interesting areas.

The humor present in the video made it engaging, though one of the movie clips went on for a bit long. I think the analysis was very in-depth, and had an interesting twist, where it didn't seem like you were looking at the movie through the Feminist Lens until the very end, which tied it all together.

I think that the video was good. Some of the images were not in sync with the audio. I think that the trailer could have been played after the little audio skit that was played after. I think that the analysis was above the surface. I think that the analysis could have dug a little deeper into what the movie portrayed. Overall the video was good.
