Observation And Reflection Of A Rocky Film

Improved Essays
the house was exciting. I also find it pretty neat that she was used as an extra in the film during the baptism scene. Along with war and military films, any film about sports will grab my attention to the fullest. I have always been a sports fanatic and like war films, the history goes hand and hand. In 2002 I jumped at the opportunity to go to the location Field of Dreams was produced. Rudy, The Natural, Hoosiers, Bull Durham, Ali, The Hurricane, and any of the Rocky films are just scratching the surface of films that make an everlasting impact on our society.

The first day of class I could tell my guidance counselor had manipulated me into taking the class, the class that would change my life forever,

    Restrepo Documentary

    Restrepo is a documentary that follows the journey of soldiers who were deployed to what was described as the most dangerous part of Afghanistan; it was named after “Doc” Restrepo who was unfortunately killed while being deployed. Watching this film put into perspective a lot of the documents we have previously read. For example when Dan Kearney stated that the equipment that was supposed to protect them has numerous bullet holes. Having an image of the location and what the soldiers went through and putting a face to those recounting the stories made it very significant. The immediate reaction these soldiers expressed when first landing was pure fear.…

    I knew Red Lobster was a bad option. I wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse, but mom had her way, even on MY high school graduation. I was stuck, sitting in the booth, waitress staring at me for 15, 16, 17 seconds now. Sitting in my cap and gown, she asked again – “where are you going to college?” I’d prefer the Bloomin’ Onion to this any day of the week.…

    Leni Riefenstahl

    Speaking as a film and sports lover, it’s highly unlikely that historical sports dramas will ever get old. To this day, movies like Field of Dreams, Miracle, and Rocky continue to withstand the test of time – at least in my eyes. They’re ever more enjoyable whenever said productions tackle real life events, meaning Cool Runnings and A League of Their Own are unlikely to get old anytime soon, either. Outside of the major sports, though – it would appear track and field is beginning to take off cinematically. We’ve received a dramatized glimpse of it recently in Unbroken, which depicted Louis Zamperini’s trip to the 1936 Summer Olympics (popular sporting event, apparently), and also in McFarland, USA, which tells the story of Latino high school cross country team’s rise to statewide prominence.…

    Introduction: For my film report, I chose to watch the movie The Hurt Locker. This movie was about the Iraq war and it followed a team of men who were being targeted by the Iraqi’s. This movie not only showed us both sides of the war, but it showed us the different effects war can have on a person. The movie started out very intense and sad with the master sergeant dying which led to the group getting a new leader.…

    The movies “Pearl Harbor”, “Red Tails”, “Alone in Berlin”, “Hacksaw Ridge” and “Saving Private Ryan” all have many historical events and historical people. Many people believe that the producers that produced these movies did an excellent job making these movies happen. For example, “Pearl Harbor”, in my opinion, is the best movie that helps portray an important historical event that happened in the history of the United States of America. This movie shapes the important event of the attack on Pearl Harbor, it shows how the attack affected the American society and the American people.…

    Gettysburg Movie Analysis

    I chose the film Gettysburg because it provides a great overview of the battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg is a 1993 American war film. The film tells the story of the battle between the Union and confederate armies during the Civil War. The movie made sure to capture each day of the battle, which lasted three days. I was kind of confused at first because the film had no clear protagonist and antagonist.…

    Cheerleading: A Sport

    • 545 Words
    • 3 Pages

    My movie shows the struggle of pushing cheerleading to become recognized as a sport, and lists the reasons of why it should be. As a cheerleader, many times, I have had to have this argument with other athletes in order to prove the hard work, passion, and dedication that is required of this sport. This is why I chose to make it into a movie, so that I could persuade others into agreeing with me. The audience that I am reaching to with this method of justification will be mostly children and teens that are against cheerleading simply because they do not understand it. For many years, we cheerleaders have found ourselves in constant disputes with our peers and NCAA, discussing whether cheerleading should be considered an official sport or not.…

    My favorite film is Remember the Titans. The film is about a football team and their struggles with integrating an African American high school and a Caucasian high school. Taking place in Virginia in 1971, the film shows the racial tension of the community using techniques to make it cinematic. One of the ways that allows the viewer to understand the tension in the movie is with camera angles.…

    Throughout Hollywood’s years they have come up with several war films, some of them very good and some of them very bad. What makes them good and bad depends on the group or individual watching it. Some people like to watch to see how we have evolved as a country and others look to see people die. Though some Hollywood producers provide an accurate depiction of war in an unbiased manner, several glorify war to the extent of romanticizing what should be a serious topic.…

    The most challenging yet rewarding class I have taken in high school was AP Psychology.

I found myself searching for ways to apply the concepts discussed in class to my everyday life. In many ways, this was my favorite part about this class. Psychology is used to explain why thirty minute naps are better than two hour naps, and why studying over time helps with memory and information retention.…
