DO NOT USE ANY OUTSIDE SOURCES ONLY THE FILES I AM ATTACHING and the movie

In an analytic-argumentative essay address the following Writing Requirements in this order in the body of your essay:

*Detail, in a short summary what the basic plot/situation of the film is

*Identify and explain some of the important questions/issues of epistemology and/or metaphysics that are being raised in the film

*Make a text-based account of what at least two of the philosophers we have studied have to say about this artwork 
(Cite directly from the primary text sources of the philosophers NOT from the editors explanatory material between text sections.)

*Argue for what the best position is on the issues that are raised in the film
(While this portion should come from your own thinking about the issues, and need not follow any specific philosophers position, it should be written in 3rd person throughout.)
