Well firstly, do you mean the videogame or the movie? As they would be completely different to analyse.[Note: If its the game, and you are only just looking at it now, then I'd advise against it as a videogame is more fiddly and its a bit late to start analysing it *now*]

My teacher told me that it's best to avoid recent, popular fictional movies if you want your essay to come off as being sophisticated.
She told me that when I wanted to use Mr. Deeds for Telling the Truth.

I disagree, the student should be the one bringing sophistication to the essay and popularity does not preclude sophistication(a big chunk of my EE1 elective was on that idea). Then again I probably would have warned you away from Mr. Deeds as well.Dreamerish*~ said:My teacher told me that it's best to avoid recent, popular fictional movies if you want your essay to come off as being sophisticated.

As for Mr. Deeds, I guess there really isn't anyone who can contrive something intellectual from an Adam Sandler movie.

Well I think the text is usable, it all depends on the text that you intend to link it to for instance I'd have some reservations about linking The Tempest with Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
If you did want to use it, look at Lara's journey - what does it represent? what does it achieve? how is it portrayed? And how are these things similar or different to your prescribed text's journey?
