    Movie Analysis: Flight 93

    Flight 93 may have been accurate movie based on the United States Government’s recollection, but there may be evidence that concludes otherwise. Flight 93 was not a very exaggerated movie, it is filled with raw emotions of those who had to say goodbye to their families. Most of the nitty gritty details were captured in their essence but some larger details were left out completely. The movie was a perfect replica of the US government’s press release of what happened during 9/11. Some large details however were non-existent in the movie.…

    Apollo 13: Movie Analysis

    “We’ve never lost an American in space and we’re sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch!

    Fahrenheit 9/11 Film Techniques

    The two documentaries ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ by Michael Moore and ‘Manufacturing Dissent’ by Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine have a similar theme, but are different in many ways. The reasons why these films are not alike is because of the different directors; there is a Canadian director and an American director which makes the film styles different from each other. ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ uses propaganda to try and convince the viewers that they are right. These documentaries were very hard to follow for someone who knows very little about politics, and coming up with things to write the paragraphs on were difficult. These two films may have been about a similar topic, but have very different interpretations.…

    Flight Movie Analysis Essay

    The term alcoholism has been misused over the years as a vague, poorly understood and most often morally flavoured term. In various media outlets such as film, music and television, alcohol is often associated with success, physical attractiveness, romance, and sociability. Very often, the media sidesteps negative repercussions of substance abuse. This can influence individuals to have a stronger desire to drink as they have an attitude towards alcohol that is more favourable. As a result, alcoholism has been ranked as the most harmful drug compared to others (Nutt 2012).…

    All President's Men And Spotlight: Film Analysis

    All President’s Men and Spotlight are films about two important scandals of corruption that affected two powerful American institutions: the government and the Catholic church. However, both films instead of focusing on the scandals themselves, they narrate it from the perspective of the journalists who investigate both cases. As Renée Loth says in one of her articles “both films are talky, true-life procedurals about the grinding, essential work of investigative journalism”. They are about the process of news gathering to expose the corruption of those institutions. All President’s Men (1976) is a film directed by Alan J. Pakula that narrates how two reporters of the Washington Post broke the Watergate scandal, the biggest political case…
