Lately, I haven’t gone to the cinema, because I've been very bussy with the end of semester. But when I read this assignment I immediately thought of Jean-Luc Godard’s “Alpha Ville”, a movie I saw a year ago (and maybe one of my favourites).
This is a french movie, but it isn’t a “frenchy movie”. It’s completely different from this kind of films, because it could be classified in the sci-fi gender…but not in the american way because there are no special effects!, just an incredible amount of creativity. Another strong point of Alphaville, is the images’ art cuality. Here are some examples:

The story happens in a mathematically perfect world, in wich every action is orientated to predict the future. People are obligated to reject the primitive “action-reaction” laws in which common people are based in. Instead, they have to use logical reasoning to avoid any kind of conflict. In this logical world there is no place for arts, emotions, feelings…they are a threat to their overestimated (and imposed) mechanic balance. In this context, the agent Lemmy Caution (performed by Eddie Constantine) appears to uncover the weirdness of this world.
This is a really amazing movie. To understand the greatness of it, I can tell you that it inspired another two great films: Blade Runner and 2001: A space odyssey. Impresive, right?

Besides, your post is properly organized and it reveals your creative use of the language. I just made some small corrections for you to continue improving your writing skills.
Congratulations!
