It is recommended that you watched the further suggested films as well, and make comparative analysis on them and Judou. In this case, your opinions would be strengthened, and you would show the teacher that you have made a lot of preparation work on this paper.
Pay attention:

3. You should use at least 10 references. The paper should be informed by existing studies and publications.

More specifically, week 4-5: Feminism and Visual Culture (refer to "week 4-5" in the attached file "Syllabus"). If you didn't meet this requirement, your paper would stray from the point and got a low score. You must avoid this mistake.
5. Show the professor that you have fully understand the required readings.
6. your paper should be at least 1700 words excluding the reference.
