This would make an excellent choice for GITS Script Reading and Analysis. It's a comedy first and foremost, but it's also a farce which tend to not follow typical structure formats - something that I tend to think blind people who have a bias towards certain paradigms. That being said, it does have a strong structure, but like all farces, so much of the story springs from complications and many people end up not understanding what his goal was to begin with, even though it's cleverly written into just about every scene as Dorothy, too. Analyzing it would be a great opportunity to discuss the key differences between goals, needs, motivations and methods chosen to pursue - all of which help shape the story and character.

The theme was deftly slipped in there. Great movie. It also gave us the famous one-liner when Hoffman first appears as a woman in a screen test for the show and the producer is talking to a cameraman who is less than impressed with Hoffman's looks: Rita [the producer]: I'd like to make her [Hoffman] look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back? Cameraman: How do you feel about Cleveland?

The best theme statement I can think of is very subtle and hits the nail right on the head. It's quite beautiful. 12 Angry Men - Juror # 7, played by Jack Warden, is totally frustrated that Juror # 8, played by Henry Fonda, is dragging a clear cut guilty case long into the day. Juror # 7 and most of the others found the your man on trial guilty and wanted to get out of the court quickly. Juror # 7 specifically wanted to get to the Mets game for which he has tickets. During a bathroom break Juror # 7, frustrated beyond belief asks Juror # 8 "What are you an architect or something?" That's the entire movie in a nutshell. It's how Juror # 8 builds his case, like an architect, line by line, detail by detail until he wins a majority of votes and the young man gets to walk free.
