Essay structure and content: 51%

Introduction: 46%
Opening:
I noticed that you started your essay with a question to engage the reader's attention. That's good. Your score for this feature = 100/100
 

Context:
Paragraph contains film terms, like plot
 
I checked your introduction for about nine hundred film-related terms to see if you had provided your reader with some background information to let your reader know what film your essay is about. I was able to find only one match. That doesn't seem to me to be enough context for a film analysis essay. Make sure to mention a few details about the director, cast, release date, or genre.

Your second body paragraph is missing something.
