Divided We Fall And The Tunnel Analysis

Improved Essays
In the movie clips Divided We Fall and The Tunnel we see a variety of scenery, movie techniques, and overall delivery of the story plot. In Divided We Fall we see the attack of the Nazi Regimen on the Czech Republic. The movie clip is in black and white with an overall plot of how fast the Nazi regime dominated the Czech Republic and its people. In the movie clip The Tunnel we see active war scenery throughout the Czech Republic with the clip beginning at the 56th day of the Warsaw Uprising or the German take over. This film is also in black and white with an overall story plot of the war battles the local Czech people faced when fighting off the German army due to the Germans advance military weapons and machinery.

For example both movies were in black and white and were in direct relationship with the German Nazi Regimen and its power. However as identified above the story plots of each movie were very different. In the second movie The Tunnel, I perceived this movie similar to a Greek tragedy. In the story , Daisy a women with the Czech people army is the hero who constantly pushes herself along with the entire army and more specifically her love Zadra until their final breathe on the way to downtown. This is very different from the movie clip Divided We Fall because there is no direct hero in this movie clip rather just a visual of the disorder during the Nazi take over. The presence of a hero in Czech literature or a movie was very uncommon during this time making the movie Divided We Fall more normal than The Tunnel. When comparing some of the scenery differences I simply just looked

    Out of the many short stories we have read over the past few weeks, the one that is most comparable to the movie “In The Time of the Butterflies” would have to be “The Slaughter House” by Esteban Echeverria. They both posses a similar message of covering the topic of the rule of a dictatorship, but in a couple of different ways. Despite the differences between Echeverria’s “The Slaughter House” and the movie adaptation of Julia Alvarrez’s novel, they both do a great job of depicting the reality of Latin America after colonial times and under the rule of tyrants. The theme of both works is most definitely the impact that a tyrannical rule of a dictatorship has on the people. However some noticeable differences between the two would have to be how Echeverria’s story covers how the people acted towards each other under the rule of the Rosas dictatorship in Argentina.…

    The two comparations that I have is one that is a book, “Making bombs for Hitler” by Marsha F Skrypuch. The book’s setting is during World War II. It is about a girl named Lida who is from the Ukraine who is separated from her sister and is taken by Nazis who put her into a concentration camp and is forced with other children to help them in hospitals, sewing uniforms and of course making the bombs. Her main goal is to get out and find her sister. The other comparation that I am making with this book is the the 2012 musical movie, “Les misérables”, directed by Tom Cooper.…

    Every story has protagonists choosing between moral issues- issues of right and wrong. Their choice depicts the series of events that take place through out the story. The film and story we experienced in class were some of the first stories to use these themes. They use them similarly and differently making both of these stories great and unique in their own way. In the novel The Most Dangerous Game written by Richard Connell a world class hunter experiences getting hunted after washing up on an island.…

    Similarities and differences between Night and Schindler's List (Rhetorical question/quote). Many books and movies describe the lives of people during the Holocaust, but more specifically the book Night by Elie Wiesel and Schindler’s list directed by Steven Spielberg are going to be focused on most. Night explains the story of Elie Wiesel and his experience as a jew during the holocaust as well as how Elie took care of his dad and tried to survive for the both of them. Schindler's list takes a different approach and shows the Holocaust in the point of view of Oskar Schindler; a member of the Nazi party.…

    Casablanca is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, and it’s not hard to see why. Coming at a time when the world needed it most, the film brings comedy and romance to a dark situation. It is often considered a noir film because if this darkness, but it’s lightheartedness, along with other elements, keeps it from falling into the gloomy genre. Released only a year apart, Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon share multiple commonalities, which fuels the debate over whether or not Casablanca is a noir film. The most obvious similarity between the two is the three actors who star in both films, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet.…

    Introduction: One may not realize that a person is living in isolation, especially if they are seen around people. It is quite a wonder that one can be quite alienated from normal life or people while still living around them. More so, it is surprising how a person could just choose to live indoors because of his phobia and be happy enjoying his own company. In the two works of literature, The Pleasure of my Company by Steve Martin and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger, this theme has been expressed in different ways. While Martin in his book, The Pleasure of My Company expresses the theme of isolation by developing a protagonist who is confined from the normal social life like other people with his fears, Salinger develops such a character…
