@74:22
Informative documentary about the Chinese history, I knew very little about it. I think when doing business with a country, China in this case, it is essential to get more information about their history. This might also help understanding the culture better and the cultural values. Conclusion: interesting, but unbiased..? Might be interesting to hear a different perspective.

    Analysis Of 'What Makes A Good Documentary?'

    As Stewart Dunlop, writer of “What Makes a Good Documentary?” Said, “the essential element of a good documentary is simple, the story.” What makes a worthy story and how do we gather it? It all starts with the art of persuasion, done by appealing to logos, ethos, and pathos. The first component is logos where the creator makes a claim or argument that is later proven using evidence like action or still shots that are credible and reveal the truth.…

    Cultural Revolution In China

    During the Cultural Revolution in China, which took place from 1966 to 1976, Mao Zedong mobilized groups of devoted young people who called themselves “Red Guards,” whose goals was to spread the idea of socialism across China or to protest against the democratic society. This gives rise to the question “Who were the Red Guards and what major impacts did they have during the Cultural Revolution?” The Red Guards have affected schools and its students, as well as the economy and its citizens, and dramatically changed China’s policies. They carried out the idea of regular revolution by waging brutal violence and torture against fellow Chinese, the outcomes of which have completely altered China's regulations.

The film was amazing yet it was too short of a documentary.…

    Side By Side By Side: Film Analysis

    While doing a good job of presenting the information and engaging the audience it seems to lack purpose in guiding the viewer in a particular direction. Advocating the value and cultural relevance of traditional film processes and detailing an emerging cultural relevance in the new medium is all well and fine, for first year film students or film review critics but has little overt relevance to the everyday workplace or personal environment. The documentary does excel in raising awareness of these communicative mediums. Detailing the process and the personal effort that goes into creating films is certainly an informative and subject-worthy effort. Giving me a reason to ‘care’ remains the…

    Reflection Of Freedom In Today's 'Slavery By Another Name'

    Slavery is a subject that we all have learned about throughout our years in school, however it was never taught with much detail or major depth. We were taught the basics and time periods and what and who ended slavery. What I do not recall is learning about what happened the years right after, it seems like slavery ended and then fast forward to the mid-1900 and then there was segregation. The Pbs documentary “Slavery by Another name” takes you to the years after slavery was “abolished” and what African Americans had to endure for what was supposed to be their freedom. Even though they had gained their freedom, freedom was the last thing they felt.…

    Ancient Chinese Film Intro To The Ancient China

    Intro to the Ancient Chinese The film presented a general view of the Chinese history, blending technological innovations, philosophical ideas, and historical evidences for a broad introduction of ancient China. From the evolution of Chinese characters to the invention of gunpowder, this film tried to cover the main events in Chinese history. However, the compactness of the film means it had to sacrifice much specific details in favor of presenting the general history trend. Although many interesting points such as the lack of innovation in the silk industry or the rises of merchant class in Song dynasty were mention in the film, the treatment of the intellectual scholars during the Qin dynasty seems most intriguing.…

    The Argument Of Christoffer Guldbrandsen's 'Stealing Africa'

    In this response, I will be talking about the argument of Christoffer Guldbrandsen in his documentary Stealing Africa. Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s intention of this film was to show the world of Zambia’s extinct copper mining tax return. He is informing us that Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, which owns Mopani Copper Mines, is cheating the government of Zambia and not supplying that country with the tax funds they rightfully deserve. Zambia is known to have the third largest copper reserve in the world, but somehow the citizens of Zambia live on less than one dollar a day and eighty percent of the people who live there are unemployed. Because of this Zambia is ranked among the twenty poorest countries worldwide.…

    Cradle Of Civilization

    I often found it very difficult to keep up with things because the narrator would be talking about one topic and then jump to another topic but then come back to the original topic. I just found that extremely hard to keep up with and I think I could have gotten more out of the information if it was organized in a better formation. The speaker also was distracting by how he carried himself while trying to educate the viewers. His apparel blended in with scenery and it was very distracting when it some what looked like he had a floating head. I realize that has nothing to do with the content of the documentary but when it comes to doing a review of the episode as a whole I did find that that took away from the…
