Research Proposal

The film that I would like to focus my research paper on is How High directed by Jesse Dylan. The 2001 film staring Method Man and Redman as two students who score perfect scores on their “Thc’s” allowing them to attend any university in the country. They decide to attend the historic Harvard University, where their formal education flourishes. Yes this film is a intended to be a comedy but it does raise many interesting concepts, such as the use of herbal medicines. The one scene in particular that I want to focus on is in the opening scenes when you first meet Method Man’s character Silas and his use of marijuana for various home remedies . I would like to focus on Silas’ interest in this subject of herbal medicines through out the film.
