Thinking Critically about Shanghai Noon
1. To argue that Shanghai Noon is not a classic film western but is a good revisionist western, Cecily must set up two sets of related criteria: the features that make a good classic western and the features that make a good revisionist western. What criteria does she use for each?
2. Does Shanghai Noon match the author’s criteria for a revisionist western? If so, what evidence does she provide to support her evaluation?
3. What objections and alternative views does the author address? How effective do you find her rebuttal and her choice of where she handles these views? What other alternative views can you think of?
4. Where do you find this evaluation most persuasive? Where could it be made stronger?
