| How We Determine Our Grades | |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
How does Griffin’s character provide comic relief in the story even though he “sees” some very disturbing images from the future? Would you want to be able to see the events that are coming? Do you agree with his comment, “Miracles seem impossible but happen anyway.”
In the story, one small decision or event has long-reaching impacts on the future. Do you think this is true? What events contribute to the person Agent K becomes? What choices are you making now that will affect your future?
How does Agent J’s trip to the past change his attitude about his partner? How is the importance of a positive partnership portrayed in this movie?
