Hacksaw Ridge Movie Vs Movie Essay

Superior Essays
Hacksaw Ridge Real Vs. Reel War is a serious topic, and talking about it can be a touchy subject, and writing and producing a movie over a specific person's experience in a war could be very difficult as to not anger said person or the person's family. When it comes to the movie Hacksaw Ridge, it seems Hollywood did a rather good job. While some facts were changed in the movie to make it more interesting for the viewer, but in some cases things were left out as to not anger the viewers. In the end the movie Hacksaw Ridge is a thrilling and rather accurate representation of a battle in Okinawa on Kakazu Ridge.
Is the movie Hacksaw Ridge accurate or did Hollywood just use a tragic story; spruce it up a bit by changing the story, to make a few million dollars? Gladly this is untrue as most of the movie is rather accurate. The movie is accurate because it had the same ending point as it did in real life. Some details were changed or even left out because it would make it more pleasing to the audience or that the audience would not believe that it was true, but in the end it is the same story.

    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.…

    My opinion about the movie Glory is very interesting, it is a good movie because it talks about the treatments that African Americans endured during the war and also during training camp. This movie shows how the African American men fought for the country in which they agree not to get commission. They also were threatened at a point to if they stayed in the military then they would become slaves or even killed, the general or corporal was also threatening if they kept the African Americans in the military that they will be charged or even sentence to death.

    While there were a lot of facts that were altered for the movie, there were also some historically accurate parts. If one were to watch the movie without knowledge of the actual history, they would have a very different and partly incorrect perception of what happened during the battle. It would be a good idea to do some research about a historical event before going to watch a movie about it. It would also be a good idea to not use that movie as a basis for teaching one about what it is based on. While it was an enjoyable movie, it is an unreliable source for historically accurate…

    “Gone with the wind” and the American Civil War are a movie and a historical event which complements each other effectively. I was expecting a great analysis, however as I was reading through the paragraph composition, I found was quite confused in the flow of his paragraph. The sentences seemed fragmented and were not complete. For example, “Rhett now in jail with his foreign bank accounts all blocked, her attempt to get his money has been in vain.” This does not constitute a proper sentence; it is if two simple sentences has been brought together by a comma and the words are in the wrong order, disrupting the flow.…

    The accuracy of a book to a movie is often blamed on the director. Whether this is true or not, is almost always based on opinion. Long movies are resented a lot of the time, because (enter mild sarcasm) no one cares about those tiny bits of information the author wrote that may or may not become important later in the story. Which is why movies are often only an hour and a half to two and a half hours.…
