Movie Analysis: Flight 93

Improved Essays
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. Much of the dialog that went on during the movie was taken from actual transcripts of flight 93. The so-called crash sight of flight 93 looks nothing like any other plane wreckage.

    “We’ve never lost an American in space and we’re sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch! Failure is not an option!” Said by Gene Kranz on the movi Apollo 13, the ‘Failure is not an option’ phrase has been used by various action movies as a cliché which shows authority and badassery. Every character on this kind of movie says that failing on their specific job (or mission, if you really want to be that badass) is not what they are expecting. Fail this mission and you don’t exist on our lives, that’s it.…

    "Wanted" is basically from a comic book that has limited series written by Mark Miller and J.G Jones, it is about an amoral protagonist (Wesley Gibson) who is discovered as the heir of super assassin. Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, he is the cream of the crop, he turns this comic into a movie that make the viewers not sit still and make their adrenaline and cortisone levels spike with the actions. Bekmambetov used the similar style of shots and angles with his previous movie, Night watch.

    Amelia English David Kalivas History World Civilization Before 1500 Essay 1 14 October 2015 Hollywood vs History The movie 300 is about the events of the Battle of Thermopylae. Of course, it is a dramatized version of the actual events of history. Hollywood takes historical events and dresses them up with glam and over exaggerations to catch the viewers interest. This can be bad in some situations because it can leave the viewer with the impression that certain things happened when they actually might not have.…

    I think that one of the most effective aspects of the film were the depictions of the civilian ships that were picking up soldiers from the sea. The boat driven by the dad and the son, for instance, picked up dozens of surviving soldiers from the water. I think that these scenes were very effective in demonstrating the desperation that characterized the need to evacuate the soldiers. Right after the audience saw the destruction of many ships, these civilian boat scenes followed, which helped show the urgency of the situation. Also, the scenes with the planes fighting in the air along with the boat scenes helped clarify how lucky the Allies were when they escaped.…

    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).…

It wasn’t until the faces of Michael Keaton and Paul Guilfoyle appeared on the screen that I realized I wasn’t watching a documentary at all.…
